NCAPSA AMERICAN POLITICS WORKSHOP
January 7, 2019 | 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
University of Maryland, College Park
McKeldin Library 6137 (Special Events Room)
Hosted by the Department of Government & Politics
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.
So as 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.
10:30 a.m.: Andrew Ballard (AU) and James Curry (Utah): "Giving the Minority Credit: Restrained Majority Party Agenda Control in the House of Representatives" | Appendix
11:30 a.m.: Jamil Scott (Georgetown): "Understanding Candidate Supply: The Role of Training Programs in Politics"
12:30 p.m.: Lunch
1:15 p.m.: Cory Maks-Solomon (GW) and Josiah Drewry (GW): "Why Do Corporations Engage in Moral Policy Activism?" | Appendix
2:15 p.m.: Lilliana Mason (Maryland) and Nathan Kalmoe (LSU): "Lethal Mass Partisanship: Prevalence, Correlates, and Electoral Contingencies"
DIRECTIONS, TRANSPORTATION, AND PARKING
The workshop will be held on the University of Maryland, College Park campus in the McKeldin Library, Room 6137. Directions to the McKeldin Library are here. A campus map is here.
For drivers
There are several visitor parking garages on the UMD campus. Information about the garage locations and rates are here.
Because of winter break, however, parking in some lots on campus should be free and unregulated. Details are here. I'm told that Lot 1 is close to McKeldin Library and may be a good option. In any case, park at your own discretion.
For Metro-ers
The College Park-U of Md Metro station is on the Green Line, approximately 1 mile from campus. Campus shuttle buses leave approximately every ten minutes from the UMD Shuttle stop on the east side of the station. The buses will drop you off at Lot HH, across the street from the Adele Stamp Student Union. McKeldin Library is less than a 3-minute walk from here.
