PAWS Clinic

PAWS (Politics and the Welfare State) Clinic provides a shared space for interdisciplinary quantitative research across political science, political economy, international relations, public policy, and related fields.

Seminars are held on selected Tuesdays from 13:00 to 14:00 and follow an informal, discussion-oriented format. We welcome presentations at any stage of the research process, from early designs and pre-analysis plans to preliminary or final results, from researchers at all career stages — PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty. The series is organized by PhD students for PhD students, but colleagues from across Dondena and the broader Bocconi community are warmly encouraged to take part.
