We are excited to announce the CPW schedule for Fall 2026. During the fall term, CPW will meet every Wednesday from 3:00 to 4:20 p.m. in Room 105 of Pick Hall. The full schedule is attached below.
The faculty coordinators for Fall 2026 are Professor Benjamin Lessing and Professor Michael Albertus.
Our first speaker will be Professor Stathis Kalyvas from the University of Oxford, in a session co-sponsored with WIP. Professor Kalyvas will join us during the first week of the term. Given the anticipated high level of interest, his CPW session will be held in the John Hope Franklin Room in the Social Science Research Building. All remaining fall sessions will take place in Pick Hall.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the 2026–27 CPW student coordinators, Sidra Yousaf (syousaf@uchicago.edu) and Hongding Zhu (hongding@uchicago.edu). We look forward to an exciting term and year, and hope you enjoy the rest of your summer.
All the best, Hongding and Sidra _____________________
