The Tobin Project seeks applications for a Graduate Student Workshop on Inequality and Decision Making, to be held from April 29 to May 1 in Cambridge, MA. The workshop will focus on understanding how high and/or rising levels of economic inequality influence individuals’ decision-making, and how such effects might impact the broader society.
In addition to participating in this unique collaborative program, workshop participants are eligible to receive research grants of up to $1000. Details about the program and the submission process can be found here, and the deadline to apply is February 29th. If you have any questions, please see the FAQ page on our website.
Over the past decade, Tobin’s graduate student programming has sought to encourage the next generation of scholars to pursue ambitious research on the most pressing challenges facing the nation by providing graduate students with support and feedback as they conduct problem-focused scholarship. In our 2018 annual newsletter, we celebrated the tenth year of Tobin’s graduate student programming with an article featuring interviews with a number of former fellows. Though they took varied paths since attending our workshop, they all credit Tobin with helping to focus their work and direct them toward projects that seek to address vital problems in the world.
