Democratic Innovations Workshop

Nicholas Bagley speaks in a classroom at a lectern

Democratic Innovations is an interdisciplinary ISPS program bringing together social scientists from a variety of fields to think about the factors that affect government policy and decision-making. And to analyze novel institutions that might support improvements in representation and government performance. This workshop presents current research that tests innovative ideas for improving the quality of democratic representation and governance.

The workshop will meet in person or on Zoom on selected Fridays from noon to 1:15 p.m. In-person workshops will meet in Room A002 at ISPS, 77 Prospect Street.
