This workshop is a weekly seminar in which a variety of work-in-progress by visiting scholars, Yale graduate students, and Yale faculty from Sociology and other disciplines is discussed.  Papers are distributed approximately a week ahead of time and posted on the CRW website. Students who take the course for a letter grade present a paper during the term they are enrolled for credit. (Course listing: SOCY 560 / PLSC 734.)

The CRW brings together academics to discuss their research and insights in an environment emphasizing free discussion and exchange of ideas.  Faculty and graduate students from various disciplines participate.  All who are interested are welcome.
