Workshop in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics

The Workshop in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (or PPE Workshop) was established in 1999 to encourage and explore the latest research by scholars from across the social sciences and humanities. For over 20 years, the PPE Workshop has been a vehicle for scholars and graduate students to discuss and receive feedback on research.
