Berkeley Empirical Research in Quantitative Justice (BERQ-J) Workshop

Are you conducting quantitative research related to crime and justice? Would you like to share your findings with colleagues from adjacent disciplines working on similar issues? We’re thrilled to invite you to a new workshop series!

We’ve launched a new lunchtime meeting series emphasizing grad students and early-career researchers, to build the quantitative criminal justice research community at UC Berkeley.

Here’s why you should join us:

1. Share Your Work: Present your ideas, early drafts, or works-in-progress in a supportive environment.
2. Get Valuable Feedback: Receive input from peers and experts across different disciplines.
3. Expand Your Network: Connect with researchers from economics, political science, sociology, public policy, psychology, and law who share your interests.
4. Gain New Perspectives: Learn how others approach similar questions from different quantitative angles.
5. Boost Your Career: Build collaborations and relationships that could lead to future opportunities.
6. Enjoy Free Lunch: Who doesn’t love free food while discussing research?

The format is informal and flexible, focusing on idea exchange and community building. We’ll meet for one hour during lunchtime, and one person will present their early-stage work at each meeting.

Interested? Here’s what you can do:

1. Join our mailing list!
2. Reach out to Dvir Yogev at dyo@berkeley.edu to introduce yourself.
3. Spread the word to fellow scholars who might benefit from this workshop.
