George Washington University
Hosted by the Department of Political Science
PROGRAM
Beginning at 10:00 a.m., refreshments (light snacks, coffee, tea, etc.) will be available. We will start the workshop promptly at 10:30 a.m..
In order to maximize discussion, authors will not provide detailed presentations. Instead, they may offer brief introductory comments, and then we will open the floor to questions. Participants are expected to have read the papers (below) so that virtually all of the time can be devoted to Q&A.

11:30 a.m.: William Pollock (Stony Brook): "Lowering Expectations: How Candidate Demeanor Affects Voter Attitudes"

1:15 p.m.: Kim Gross (GW) and Julie Wronski (Mississippi): "Helping the Homeless: The Role of Empathy, Race and Deservingness in Motivating Policy Support and Charitable Giving"
2:15 p.m.: Ethan Porter (GW), William Howell (Chicago), and Thomas Wood (Ohio State): "Making a President: Performance, Public Opinion, and the (Temporary) Transmutation of Donald J. Trump"
