The second phase will be located in Washington DC over spring break, and will use the opportunities provided by the nation’s capital to explore transdisciplinary policy practice in government, think tanks, and advocacy groups. Students will learn from policy and advocacy experts, as well as from social science leaders in Congress. Students will also learn about the basics of government and the legislative process, research-based advocacy, and how social scientists affect social policy around the world.
