Elements of Policy Analysis – Bootcamp
- This event has passed.
All Stanford students who are interested in learning basic public policy analysis are invited to join this policy skills boot camp. You do not need to be enrolled in a Policy Lab practicum to attend the skills boot camp. To receive one unit of credit, please enroll in “Elements of Policy Analysis” (Law 7846) and plan to attend not only the boot camp but also at least 3 subsequent workshops (see below).
- This skills training is restricted to Stanford University faculty, staff, students, and fellows. You must have a valid SUID to register.
The overview of methods on Saturday, September 27, 2025 9:30 AM – 3:30 PM in Room 280B, is a required prerequisite for all Policy Lab students. If you completed this in a previous term, you do not need to come again. If you have a background in policy analysis, you may be exempted with permission from Program Director Luci Herman or from your Policy Lab faculty. The morning session will run 9:30 AM to noon. Please bring your own lunch. The afternoon session runs from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM in the same room. BOTH sessions are required for students who are new to the Policy Lab.
If you are taking Elements of Policy Analysis (Law 7846) for credit, you should also attend at least three subsequent workshops. Attendance is taken via QR code at each session, so be sure to sign in when you come.
Everyone is welcome to attend any of the workshops, including the boot camp, regardless of whether you enroll for credit. The deadline to RSVP is September 25, 2025 by 12am.
