Research Groups
This is a listing of the research groups I help coordinate at the University of Missouri's Truman School of Government and Public Affairs. If you are interested in presenting in any of these groups email me (michelangelolandgrave@missouri.edu) or one of the group's co-coordinators. Unless otherwise noted, we meet in the third floor conference room (304) of the Locust Street Building.
A note to students: I emphasize that these research groups are meant for presenting works in progress. Present your research proposal before you spend valuable time and money on data collection!
