This workshop features the presentation of 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 12:00-1:15 p.m. In person workshops will meet in Room A002 at ISPS, 77 Prospect Street.
