LIST OF PANELS

In this course you will learn how to use concepts and frameworks of policy learning to strengthen and advance your research across a wide range of topics and approaches in public policy. We will cover the conceptual foundations of policy learning, its types, and effects on public policy, and how it integrates into - and strengthens- existing theoretical approaches to policy process research. Next, we will examine in depth various ways of measuring the presence of learning in public policy and discuss how to establish the causal effects of learning in individuals, groups and complex organizations, drawing on exemplary case studies. 

 We will finish the course with practical suggestions on how to benefit from the policy learning framework in your own research: for this reason, we invite participants to prepare a short (3-4) page description of their project, research plan, or paper drafts.
