Working Papers

The CHSS Working Paper series will offer CHSS students and faculty a venue to have their work in progress formally available to scholars within and outside of Northwestern University. The series will be directed by Professors Edward Gibson and James Mahoney. It will feature papers focused on comparative and/or historical work, very broadly defined. Students and faculty who would like to have their papers considered for this series should contact Gibson at egibson@northwestern.edu and Mahoney at james-mahoney@northwestern.edu.
