University of Washington Political Economy Forum
The Political Economy Forum at the University of Washington brings together diverse scholars and citizens interested in development, innovation and public policy.
The Forum is dedicated to increasing interdisciplinary knowledge and collaboration between researchers working at the intersection(s) of political science, economics and public policy (broadly conceived). The Forum provides an opportunity for folks with common interests to interact across disciplinary boundaries. What we share in common are theoretical, methodological and policy interests that speak to important social, economic and political issues.
While the primary goal of the Forum is to bridge disciplinary divides and foster collaborative approaches to research, we are dedicated to the tenets of evidence based policy: informing collective decisions with facts, logic and evidence and undertaking cost benefit analysis.

Duck Family Colloquium, Center for Environmental Politics
The Center for Environmental Politics organizes a monthly colloquium series on environmental politics, policy, and governance. This series is made possible by the generous support of Gary and Susan Duck, UW alumni and long-standing benefactors of the department. Susan passed away in December 2015 after a prolonged illness. We miss her a lot.
The Duck Family Colloquium Series is managed by graduate students. For 2021-2022, Inhwan Ko (Political Science Ph.D. Candidate) will serve as the Richard B. Wesley Fellow in Environmental Politics and Governance and the chair of the Duck Family Colloquium series. The Center will host the following seminars, as described below.
