__________________________________________________________________
Washington University's Weidenbaum Center and Department of Political
Science sponsor a summer institute on the problems of testing
theoretical models of politics. The institutes are designed for
advanced graduate students and junior faculty whose research and
teaching would benefit from training seminars on the link between
methods of empirical analysis and theoretical models. The 2008 EITM
Summer Institute is comprised of five seminars over a three-week
period, a basic seminar and four advanced seminars (the last week will
provide students with an option to take one of two seminars).
Participants selected for this program will receive a $1,000 stipend.
This will be used to cover their travel, room, and board. Up to 25
subsidies are available for full-time participants. Participants shall
be responsible for any and all costs of living expenses in St. Louis
for the three-week long institute. Funding is provided by the
National Science Foundation.
