Graduate Student Research
Our PhD students traveled to academic conferences this year. Pictured to the left is Ahmet Ergurum and friends after their panel at the Midwest Political Science Association Annual Meeting where Ahmet presented his research using computational text analysis to consider the salience of emerging tech (AI, drones, semiconductors) on the United Nations Security agenda. Ahmet also presented research at a couple of International Studies Association meetings AND published two peer-reviewed papers and several book chapters this year! (When does he sleep?)
Our PhD and MA students in Visiting Assistant Professor Kyle McWagner’s POL SCI 935 course presented their research stemming from an original survey and set of survey experiments they designed and implemented in a public forum in UWM’s new Chemistry Building. They have uncovered some important findings and we are excited to watch them ready their papers for publication! Big thanks to Bradley Brin for funding the survey and for joining us for the presentations!
