The Political Science Seminar Series is a forum for the presentation of ongoing work by NYU Abu Dhabi, NYU New York, and external faculty from across the world. Having evolved from NYU Abu Dhabi's close-knit intellectual community as a weekly forum for scholars to exchange ideas and present fresh research the seminar series offers a rigorous and critical academic environment. The methodological and substantive range is broad ranging from empirical works in comparative politics to formal theory.

All events are held at NYUAD Building A5. Please contact Caroline Kassab in the Social Science Administration team to get on the mailing lists or obtain further information. See the AY19-20 schedule.
