The Center for Advanced Social Science Research

The mission of the Center for Advanced Social Science Research is linking academy to policy to community. CASSR supports individual and collaborative research projects with the purpose of connecting academic findings to real-world policy actors.

A public, bi-annual conference where the faculty and policy affiliates meet forms the centerpiece of this intellectual exchange. The biweekly colloquium series provides an opportunity for research-in-progress and new policy ideas to be presented.
