JACOB MARSCHAK INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLOQUIUM ON MATHEMATICS IN THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES
The Marschak Colloquium was founded more than 50 years ago by Jacob Marschak (1898-1977), a pioneer in the economics of information. It is directed by Susanne Lohmann (Political Science & Public Policy) in collaboration with Dan Blumstein(Ecology and Evolutionary Biology), Louis Gomez (Education), and Mark Kleiman (Public Affairs).

POLITICAL THEORY WORKSHOP
The UCLA Political Theory Workshop aims to host a diverse set of presentations each year in the field of political theory. Presenters circulate a paper in advance (posted here) and we hope that all participants in the workshop will take care to read the paper before the workshop itself. Our guests offer only a brief précis of their papers and a designated respondent then provides an initial assessment before opening the floor for a general discussion. Presentations are open to the public and anyone is welcome to attend; please feel free to circulate notice of upcoming talks to interested parties. A schedule of presenters for the 2016-17 Political Theory Workshop can be found by following the link on the left side of this page.

In 2016-17, workshops will begin in the winter quarter and continue throughout the balance of the academic year.
