View EventAs a Political Science PhD student, being a member of the Weidenbaum Center has been instrumental in my growth as a scholar. Through the Center’s events, I engage with cutting-edge research on some of the most pressing political issues, broadening my perspective on innovative methodologies and the future of political inquiry. Additionally, the Weidenbaum Center has directly supported my academic success, providing the resources and mentorship to elevate my research on both institutional and behavioral aspects of American politics. My collaboration with the Center has allowed me to give back to the St. Louis community through the St. Louis Policy Initiative, bridging rigorous academic research with real-world impact. The Weidenbaum Center has not only enriched my academic journey, but has also empowered me to contribute meaningfully to both scholarship and society.
