The Princeton Graduate Student Conference on Psychology and Policy Making aims to provide an exciting intellectual forum for graduate students in the social sciences who are interested in the ways that psychological processes influence policymaking and whose research integrates ideas and methods from both Political Science and Psychology. The conference will feature eight workshop-style panels, each devoted to an innovative graduate research project on the connections between psychological theory, political behavior, and elite decisionmaking.

Attendees will enjoy numerous opportunities for networking and exchanging ideas with graduate students and faculty from Princeton and other leading research universities, including catered meals, a reception, and a Keynote Lecture by John Jost of New York University's Department of Psychology.

Conference Format

Each panel will consist of a one-hour, workshop-style discussion of a single paper.

The paper's author will spend the first 10 minutes of the panel briefly describing his or her work, and graduate student discussants from Princeton's Departments of Psychology and Politics will then briefly comment on the paper. The remainder of the panel will be set aside for questions and feedback from others in attendance.

On Saturday we will feature a keynote address by John Jost of New York University's Department of Psychology.
