We host a number of workshop series and meetings to provide an opportunity to advance research and foster collaborations.
Works-in-Progress Series
We host a workshop to highlight ongoing research open to all areas of public affairs and political science. Speakers include our faculty and graduate students, plus scholars from around the world. The series is coordinated by Alex Braithwaite.

Conflict Research Group
Faculty and Ph.D. students in SGPP and affiliated units meet periodically to discuss new research on political and criminal violence, rebellion, insurgency and counterinsurgency. Meetings occasionally include invited speakers from across campus and from outside of the UA.
Environmental Policy & Research Group
The Environmental Policy & Research Group (EPRG) is an informal group at SGPP created to hear and discuss current environmental research from our faculty and students. The group meets a few times each semester and provides students and faculty members with an opportunity to present research in an informal setting. All are welcome, including MPAs and MPPs, even if you do not want to present.
Workshops and Mini-Conferences
Each academic session, SGPP is host to and sponsor of a number of academic workshops and mini conferences. Over recent years, this has included events focused upon American politics, collaborative governance, mixed methods, nonviolent civil resistance, and refugees and forced migration.
