Hosted by the School of Public Affairs
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.: Laura Hussey (UMBC): "Who Substitutes Service for Politics? Assessing the Roles of Youth and Partisan Alienation in Americans' Forms of Civic Engagement"
12:30 p.m.: Lunch
1:15 p.m.: Hans Noel (Georgetown) and Dan Hopkins (Penn): "Is John McCain More Conservative Than Rand Paul? Using Activists' Pairwise Comparisons to Measure Ideology"
