Announcing a PPIRS Professional Development Webinar: Evidence Synthesis and Politics, Policy, and International Relations

  • 1.  Announcing a PPIRS Professional Development Webinar: Evidence Synthesis and Politics, Policy, and International Relations

    Posted Nov 15, 2021 01:11 PM

    The PPIRS Professional Development Committee invites you to attend a webinar and discussion on evidence synthesis in politics, policy, and international relations research. Evidence Synthesis is a research methodology that brings together information from multiple sources to come to an overall understanding. Common examples of evidence synthesis include systematic reviews and scoping reviews. PPIRS members Emily Keller, Andrew Dudash, and Annelise Sklar attended the Evidence Synthesis Institute in August 2021, and we would like to share our experience with our PPIRS colleagues and learn more about what our peers are doing in this space. We have recruited ESI planner and presenter Sarah Young to share her knowledge with us as well. This session will feature a short introduction to ES concepts followed by an open discussion about how evidence synthesis is or can be used by politics, policy, and international relations researchers and librarians. 

     

    Date: December 8, 2021 

    Time: 1:00PM-2:00PM Central Time (US and Canada)
