The Workshop on Policy Process Research (WOPPR) brings together faculty, students, and visiting scholars to explore questions about how public policies are designed evolve, and how people engage in policy processes and shape policy outcomes. We employ diverse theoretical lenses and methodological approaches for examining challenging public policy questions, and support engaged scholarship with policy practitioners. The WOPPR offers several seminars each year to build our community, share ideas, and train the next generation of policy scholars.
Professors Chris Weible and Tanya Heikkila serve as the WOPPR co-directors, and welcome inquiries from prospective students, visiting scholars, and practitioners.
