If you are interested in exploring public policy but lack the training and skills, consider joining the Policy Lab for any or all of our introductory skills workshops. The series offers an overview of methods and strategies for social change, beginning with an in-person boot camp on Saturday, January 20, followed by a series of six to eight one-hour lunchtime workshops on topics ranging from Policy Interviewing Skills to Design Thinking for Policy Analysis. The series supports students engaged in Policy Lab projects but is open to all Stanford community members interested in building a toolkit of basic policy analysis skills. The Bootcamp is also a requirement for all those enrolled in a winter policy practicum who have not attended a previous bootcamp.
