PSAC is a workshop of the Cornell Department of Government for research primarily in American politics, comparative politics, and international relations. PSAC seminars feature papers from department graduate students and faculty and from scholars at other universities. These sessions allow students, faculty, and guests to engage in lively debate and discussion on diverse topics from different subfields of political science.
All are welcome. Interested graduate students and faculty in any field are encouraged to join us. The workshop meets in-person on most Fridays, from 12:15 - 1:30pm in White Hall 106, unless otherwise noted below.
For questions regarding the 2024-2025 PSAC talks, please contact Avi Melamed (am2277@cornell.edu).
