Climate Policy Workshop
About
CPW is an cross-campus venue at U-M for faculty to workshop their social science research on climate change policy and politics.
Our aims are twofold:
- foster U-M's community of social scientists working on climate change
- provide a venue for feedback on faculty research in progress
Many of these conversations are already happening in pockets across campus; our intention is to create a complementary institution that brings together people who are studying similar questions but might not yet realize their common climate interests.
Workshop attendance is open to faculty, postdocs, PhD students, and master's students.
2026–27 Schedule
All sessions meet Wednesdays from 12:00 noon - 1:00 pm in Dana 2315.
Lunch is provided to those who register in advance (via our mailing list).
