Events
One of the key ways in which IPR disseminates its faculty research is through its events. Events are held throughout year, with most taking place over the academic year. Some are co-sponsored with different departments and schools across the University, in addition to student and other policy research organizations.
All events, unless otherwise stated, are free of charge and open to the public. You can sign up for notification of IPR events here.

Colloquium Series
Each year IPR organizes more than 30 academic talks, which feature research by IPR faculty and other faculty from Northwestern and others. The formats vary between 60 and 90 minutes, with time included for Q&A. Its five series are:
IPR Fay Lomax Cook Monday Colloquia
IPR’s signature, interdisciplinary colloquium series, which takes place Mondays from noon to 1 p.m. Speakers are typically IPR fellows or associates, discussing their latest policy-relevant research. Organizer: David Figlio
C2S Colloquia
This occasional series brings together social, life, and biomedical scientists who examine how broad social, racial/ethnic, and economic disparities "get under the skin" and affect human development and physical health. Organizer: Thomas McDade
Q-Center Colloquia
This series is designed to showcase and promote discussion of methodological innovation across disciplines. Four to five are held over the academic year, usually on Tuesdays from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. Organizer: Larry Hedges
Series on Performance Measurement and Rewards
Speakers examine how good performance is measured in areas such as education, healthcare, policing, courts, and charities—in search of common problems and solutions. They are held in fall and spring, usually on Tuesdays from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. Organizer: Burton Weisbrod
Applied Micro and Labor & Education Policy Seminar Series
This series, joint with Northwestern’s Department of Economics, generally takes place on Thursdays from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. The applied economists tackle myriad subjects in education, developmental economics, social policy, and other areas. Organizer: Lee Lockwood
You can sign up to be notified of these series and other events here.
Key Policy-Relevant Events
In addition to its colloquia, IPR also organizes conferences, fora, symposia, and talks. Two of IPR’s biggest annual policy-relevant events are its:
- Distinguished Public Policy Lectures that provide insights from experts whose careers are characterized by exceptional scholarship and service in the public policy arena
- Policy Research Briefings, which bring together leading experts to present and discuss their policy-relevant research and how it can help address current social issues
Workshops and Training
IPR also organizes workshops, training, and academic conferences throughout the year. Below are a few of these recurring events:
- Chicago Area Political and Social Behavior (CAB) workshop (May)
- IES training workshops (Summer)
- Joint IPR/OSC workshop (June)
Undergraduate Policy-Oriented Organizations
IPR is also very pleased to work with Northwestern undergraduate organizations that have an interest in policy studies and research. They are:
- Roosevelt Institute at Northwestern
- Dialogues, a lecture series of the Northwestern Community Development Corps
Event Co-Sponsorship Requests
IPR does sponsor events, mostly in conjunction with Northwestern University schools, departments, and organizations. If you are interested in requesting co-sponsorship of an event, please e-mail Patricia Reese and include a description of the event, the dates, and any requests for funding or use of IPR resources.
