More Information
The CPPR Health Policy Seminars are a series of workshops that bring together faculty and distinguished speakers from numerous disciplines across Tulane’s campuses to connect with a network of professionals and produce interdisciplinary research that addresses critical policy issues.
Organized by Mary Olson, Associate Professor of Economics at Tulane and leader of CPPR's Health Policy program, these working groups provide scholars with the opportunity to present new work to an incisive audience of researchers and practitioners. Papers are distributed beforehand to the participants who read the paper and prepare discussion questions for the presenter.
