Policy Workshops

Our policy workshops teach concrete skills for engaging in the public policy process. Each workshop pairs presentations of content by SSN staff with interactive elements that help scholars learn and apply the skillset. There is always time for questions and specific feedback. The workshops can be done virtually or in-person and are suitable for scholars at any stage in their career.
