ReSPoS Summer School 2019

ReSPoS is a Summer School deeply focused on research methods in policy studies. With special attention devoted to methodological pluralism, ReSPoS's main task is to grant participants the opportunity to be presented with - and possibly to challenge - different research traditions, by discussing the assumptions, the advantages and the limitations underlying each method. Accordingly, ReSPoS Summer School will help participants to critically evaluate their research projects and to choose the empirical strategy that better suits their research questions.

The School will be hosted by the NASP Graduate School at the University of Milan, in Via Pace 10. The palace is conveniently located at walking distance from the metro-station of Crocetta. Classes and the poster session will be held in Room A.

7th Edition of the ReSPoS Summer School

To face the rumored trend toward a-theoretical correlational approaches, we need to pay even more attention than before to the detection of causal chains and to the normative implications behind big data for policy-making. The 7th edition of the ReSPoS Summer School takes part in this exciting debate by gathering scholars and practitioners from different disciplines. The ReSPoS Summer School 2019 will include:
• A mix of digital methods for policy studies.
• The opportunity to discuss your research project with well-established scholars.
• An ice-breaking social event on Monday (networking matters!).
