Professor Suzanna Linn Receives National Science Foundation Grant

Suzanna Linn, Liberal Arts Professor of Political Science and President of the Society for Political Methodology, was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to support the Society’s efforts to enhance diversity within the field of political methodology and to support graduate students interested in methodology. Specifically, it provides support over two years to fund participation of graduate students and faculty from under-represented groups in the annual Political Methodology Summer Meeting (the Society’s major conference) and to support the Visions in Methodology (a meeting of women in methodology) annual meeting. In addition, the grant funds a new initiative to support eight undergraduate students each year to attend the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) summer methods program and to provide mentoring during and after the program.
