The Research in American Politics (RAP) workshop serves as a forum for the presentation of research by faculty and graduate students in American politics. For graduate students, RAP is also an opportunity to hear and present practice job talks, dissertation chapters, and conference papers and to learn about professional engagement via formal discussion duties.
