The Institution for Social and Policy Studies (ISPS) strives to facilitate inter-disciplinary inquiry in the social sciences and research into important publicpolicy arenas. Recognizing that important social problems cannot be studiedadequately by a single discipline, the Yale Corporation established the Institu-tion for Social and Policy Studies in 1968 in order to stimulate interdisciplinarycollaboration within the University. Faculty and students from many depart-ments in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and from Yale’s graduate and profes-sional schools are involved in a variety of activities. These include numerousinterdisciplinary faculty seminars, research publications, postdoctoral programs,and the undergraduate major in Ethics, Politics, and Economics. Through theseactivities, ISPS seeks to provide intellectual leadership in the social sciences andshape public policies of local, national, and international significance.

Major Programs and Activities at ISPS

research programsField Experiments at ISPSOne of the hallmarks of ISPS is its commitment to field experimentation. Unlikelaboratory experiments, field experiments take place in real-world settings:political campaigns, schools, police agencies, and the like. For example, scholarsat ISPS have conducted experiments on voter mobilization and persuasioninvolving millions of subjects. They have also studied the effects of civics curric-ula in schools, various policies on the behavior of the mentally ill homeless, theeconomic benefits of providing small loans to households in developing coun-tries, the educational consequences associated with school choice programs, theconsequences of internal election observers for election fraud, the effects ofgrassroots lobbying on the passage of laws, and the effects of lottery winnings onsubsequent social and psychological outcomes. In each case, treatment and con-trol groups are assigned at random, enabling researchers to draw precise infer-ences about cause and effect. Web site, www.yale.edu/isps/publications.

ISPS Summer Program: Designing, Conducting, and AnalyzingField Experiments Established in 2001, the ISPS Summer Program: Designing, Conducting, andAnalyzing Field Experiments continues its partnership with the Inter-universityConsortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), a unit of the Institute forSocial Research at the University of Michigan. This short course aims to accom-plish the following: (1) explain why experiments are valuable tools for social sci-ence and program evaluation; (2) examine in-depth examples of how field exper-iments are designed, executed, and analyzed; and (3) explore and developresearch ideas through discussion with peers and specialists.

Experiments enable social scientists to draw valid inferences about cause andeffect. The essential ingredient of experimentation is random assignment ofpeople to treatment and control groups. Randomization ensures that thesegroups differ solely due to chance. So long as the experiment involves an amplenumber of subjects, the role of chance becomes minimal; the treatment and con-trol conditions become virtually identical. These equivalent groups are then presented with different treatments. Since preexisting differences have beeneliminated, the different responses of the treatment and control groups may beattributed to the influence of the treatment. Experiments correct many of thedeficiencies of observational, or nonexperimental, data. Random assignmentenables researchers to disentangle the complex causal interplay among variables.It also affords the researcher much more control over what that treatment is andhow accurately it is measured. There are, of course, practical and ethical limits

to the sorts of experiments that can be performed in social science. Nevertheless,the range of applications remains very large.

This course discusses a wide array of exemplary experiments in the areas ofpolitical science, advertising, public policy, health, and criminal justice. And theworkshop concentrates on field experiments. Unlike laboratory experiments,field experiments take place in real-world settings: political campaigns, schools,police agencies, and the like. Participants should have a background in statistics,up to and including multiple regression and analysis of variance. Enrollment inthis course is limited.

postdoctoral programsProgram in Agrarian Studies

The Program in Agrarian Studies is an experimen-tal, interdisciplinary initiative involving faculty andgraduate students from anthropology, history, polit-ical science, sociology, economics, internationalrelations, the Law School, and the School ofForestry & Environmental Studies. The aim is toreinvigorate the analysis of agrarian issues with thefresh air of popular knowledge about lived experi-ence—e.g., poverty, subsistence, cultivation, ecol-ogy, justice, art, custom, law, property, ritual life,cooperation, and state action. The interdisciplinarypremise of the program is that the study of the ThirdWorld must never be separated from the study of theWest, nor the humanities separated from the social

sciences. The program sponsors a lively weekly colloquium organized around anannual theme. Specialists are invited from throughout the world. A team-taughtinterdisciplinary graduate seminar titled Agrarian Societies: Culture, Power,History, and Development is offered in the fall term of each year. The programalso sponsors four to six postdoctoral fellows from various countries, represent-ing disciplines such as anthropology, history, economics, and sociology. Inter-disciplinary graduate student colloquia and small research grants for graduatework on agrarian topics are also funded. Agrarian Studies is supported by fundsprovided by Cargill, the Education Foundation of America, and Yale University.It is directed by James Scott, Sterling Professor of Political Science and Anthro-pology. The program is also affiliated with the Whitney and Betty MacMillanCenter for International and Area Studies at Yale.

Center for the Study of American PoliticsThe Center for the Study of American Politics was created to promote the workof scholars in the field of American politics. Using a broad set of methodologicalapproaches and enjoying the advantages of deep knowledge of American politics,Americanists have made signal contributions to our understanding of politicalinstitutions and behavior. The Yale Center for the Study of American Politics isdedicated to furthering this intellectual tradition.

In order to achieve its goals, the center sponsors and supports a number ofactivities:

• Inviting established scholars and postdoctoral students to spend a year at thecenter while pursuing their own research and participating in the activitiesof the center.

• Sponsoring conferences on subject areas of interest to affiliated faculty inAmerican politics.

• Sponsoring a weekly lunchtime research workshop featuring current Amer-ican political science and public policy research by leading scholars in thefield, including distinguished faculty from other institutions, postdoctoralfellows of the center, and Ph.D. candidates at Yale.

In this way, the Center for the Study of American Politics strives to make impor-tant contributions to research and teaching in the field of American politics whileenhancing the academic environment for students and faculty at Yale. Moreinformation on the center can be obtained from Pamela Greene at 432.3052 orwww.yale.edu/csap.

undergraduate programsProgram in Ethics, Politics, and Economics The Program in Ethics, Politics, and Economics (EPE) sponsors interdiscipli-nary teaching and research in the social sciences and humanities at Yale. Theprogram was created in the belief that trends toward specialized fields and sub-disciplines should not displace attempts to integrate empirical, analytical, andnormative concerns that range over the different disciplines of the modern uni-versity. The program is home to the undergraduate major in Ethics, Politics, andEconomics, which involves faculty from anthropology, economics, law, manage-ment, philosophy, political science, and sociology. The program also sponsors avariety of conferences, workshops, publications, and lectures—most notably the

Interdisciplinary Introduction to Statistics ProgramIn light of the importance of statistical reasoning for policy analysis and decisionmaking, ISPS helped develop an interdisciplinary introduction to statistics in1998. The course assumes no mathematical background—in particular, no cal-culus—and caters to students who are not mathematically inclined but who havedecided they want to learn key concepts of probability and inference within thespan of one term. The course is therefore designed to present the most usefuland essential material. A two-pronged approach accommodates students fromwidely varying fields. Each course in the STAT 101a–106a series provides a basicintroduction to statistics, including numerical and graphical summaries of data,probability, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and regression. Each coursefocuses on applications to a particular field of study and is taught jointly by twoinstructors, one specializing in statistics and the other in the relevant area ofapplication.The first seven weeks of classes are attended by all students together, as


Seyla Benhabib, Director of the Program in Ethics, Politics, and Economics


general concepts and methods of statistics are developed. The remaining weeksare divided into field-specific sections that develop the concepts with examplesand applications. Computers are used for data analysis. These courses are alter-natives; they do not form a sequence and only one may be taken for credit. Thereare no prerequisites beyond high school algebra; the courses may not be takenafter STAT 100b. This curriculum has seen enrollments grow steadily in recentyears amid strong evaluations of its instructors.

interdisciplinary initiativesYale University’s Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics

The Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics was orig-inally initiated as the Bioethics Project in thesummer of 1998 by ISPS. Its astonishing growthsince then testifies to the readiness of Yale Univer-sity for such a center and its necessity in the largeracademic community. Under the guidance ofRobert J. Levine and Margaret Farley, co-directors,and its Executive Committee, the center has articu-lated a mission that incorporates intra-Yale aims forcoordinating interdisciplinary research and sig-nificantly supplementing undergraduate and gradu-ate curricular offerings. The aims of the center alsoreach beyond Yale to the general development of thediscipline of bioethics and sharing the University’scommitment to serve the local, national, and inter-

national communities in addressing bioethical questions of urgent importance.The Executive Committee of the Bioethics Center has operated with the

conviction that Yale offers a unique opportunity for pursuing the questions ofbioethics. It is distinctive among comparable uni-versities in that it encompasses professional schoolsof Medicine, Nursing, Law, Divinity, Forestry &Environmental Studies, and Management, as well asdepartments of Epidemiology and Public Health,Philosophy, Religious Studies, natural and social sci-ences, and the humanities. Moreover, Yale has aremarkable history of interdisciplinary work, one inwhich faculty and students in many parts of the Uni-versity have been engaged in issues of bioethics for along time. Coordinating this work has added to thecenter’s energy and focus.

The past eight years have seen an extraordinarynumber of activities sponsored or cosponsored by

Margaret Farley, Co-Directorof the Interdisciplinary Centerfor Bioethics

Robert J. Levine, Co-Directorof the Interdisciplinary Centerfor Bioethics

the Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics. These include public symposia (onsuch topics as Avian Influenza pandemic preparedness, stem cell research and thefuture of therapeutic cloning, the legacy of Agent Orange, and averting hostilebiotechnology); numerous faculty seminars and ongoing study groups (e.g., ongenetically modified plants, disability issues, end-of-life issues, public healthethics, aging, and risk assessment); public lecture series (bringing national andinternational leaders into conversation with Yale faculty and students); threeinternational conferences (on the biological, social, industrial, and cultural his-tory of the chicken; the future of rice biotechnology; and the interface of gender,globalization, and health); and highly subscribed graduate and undergraduatecourses offered by visiting professors of bioethics Albert R. Jonsen, William F.May, Celia B. Fisher, Samuel Gorovitz, David H. Smith, and Karen Lebacqz. Inaddition, in the past two years the center has hosted J. Baird Callicott andHolmes Rolston III as visiting professors in environmental ethics.

In 2003 the center was awarded a five-year, $2.1 million grant by the Patrickand Catherine Weldon Donaghue Medical Research Foundation to establish theDonaghue Initiative in Biomedical and Behavioral Research Ethics, under thedirectorship of Robert J. Levine. The purpose of the initiative is to promote thestudy of the ethical aspects and implications of research on human subjects.Since its inception, the initiative has established an array of interdisciplinary pro-grams, including a research ethics working group examining the ethics ofresearch with end-of-life patients, a discussion group devoted to writing and dis-cussing cases in research ethics, and a statewide network of institutional reviewboards. The initiative also supports a yearly Visiting Scholarship in ResearchEthics and funds projects that examine an ethical problem in the conduct orinstitutional review of human subjects research.

We are delighted to have Mary Evelyn Tucker, co-founder and co-director ofthe Forum on Religion and Ecology, and David H. Smith (returning for hissecond year), former director of the Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics andAmerican Institutions, as our bioethicists-in-residence for the 2006–2007 acad-emic year. We are also pleased to welcome David Koepsell, Ph.D. and J.D. fromthe University of Buffalo, as the Donaghue Visiting Scholar for 2006–2007.

The Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of AntisemitismThe Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism is dedicatedto the scholarly research of the origins and manifestations associated with anti-semitism globally, as well as other forms of prejudice, including racism, as itrelates to policy. Through its examination of antisemitism and policy, YIISA dis-seminates scholarly material to promote further understanding and to con-tribute to aspects of policy analysis.


The main objective of the Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study ofAntisemitism is to encourage, develop, and support interdisciplinary research. Indoing so it promotes communication and dialogue among scholars, policymakers, and the public at large. A key goal of YIISA is to promote excellence inresearch and develop accessible social scientific understanding. YIISA aims tocontribute scholarly discourse and policy development in the local, national, andinternational contexts.

The Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism aims tohouse various research projects and scholars, seminars, public meetings, confer-ences, symposiums, and events, and to publish periodicals, reports, and academicarticles and volumes that operate at both the conceptual and the practical levels.In doing so, YIISA will establish itself as a center of excellence. The work ofYIISA is geared toward education, policy development, consulting, and publicawareness. YIISA is a non-partisan space that encourages dialogue and debate.

The Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism currentlyruns a seminar series that is open to all.

seminar program for 2oo6–2oo8Interdisciplinary seminars have been an important component of ISPS’s pro-grammatic activity throughout its history. These seminars generally involve sev-eral faculty members and a larger number of graduate and professional studentsfrom a variety of disciplines, departments, and schools. The history of some ofthe seminars goes back a decade or more; others are new this year. The formatof each ISPS Interdisciplinary Seminar depends upon the interests of its mem-bers. Seminars typically involve visiting speakers, discussion of published andunpublished papers, and presentation of seminar participants’ own work. Fre-quency varies from weekly to monthly.

The following is a list of the topics and organizers of ISPS Seminars for2006–2008; most are open to interested members of the Yale community. Allseminars are held at 77 Prospect Street (corner of Prospect and Trumbull streets)unless otherwise noted. Attendance at some seminars requires advance notice,and some distribute papers in advance. Lunch is provided at most seminars. Forinformation, telephone Pamela Greene at 203.432.3052 or visit our Web site atwww.yale.edu/isps/seminars.

American Politics Workshop. The American Politics Workshop is a collaborativeeffort between ISPS and the Yale Center for the Study of American Politics(CSAP). Each seminar features a presentation of current political science


research by leading scholars in the field, including distinguished faculty fromother institutions, research fellows of the CSAP, and Ph.D. candidates at Yale.The American Politics Workshop meets weekly on Wednesdays from 12 to 1.30p.m. at ISPS, 77 Prospect Street, Room A002, in conjunction with the Politics ofPublic Policy Seminar series.

Antisemitism in Comparative Perspective. Anti-Judaism, or the controversial termcoined in the 1870s by Wilhelm Marr, antisemitism, is one of the most complexand, at times, perplexing forms of hatred. It spans history, infecting differentsocieties, religious and philosophical movements, and even civilizations. In theaftermath of the Holocaust, some contend that antisemitism illustrates the limi-tations of the Enlightenment and modernity itself. Manifestations of anti-semitism emerge in numerous ideology1-based narratives and the constructedidentities of belonging and otherness such as race and ethnicity, nationalisms,and anti-nationalisms.

This seminar series, co-sponsored with the Institute for the Study of GlobalAntisemitism and Policy, aims to explore this subject matter in a comprehensive,interdisciplinary framework from an array of approaches and perspectives as wellas regional contexts. Eminent scholars and researchers are invited to presentseminar papers in an informal setting. To enhance the level of discussion, papersare made available online one week prior to the seminar. The Antisemitism inComparative Perspective seminar series normally meets on Thursdays from 4.15to 5.45 p.m. at ISPS, 77 Prospect Street, Room A002, unless indicated otherwise.Organizer: Charles Small, Director, Yale Initiative for the InterdisciplinaryStudy of Antisemitism (YIISA). Contact for information: Victoria Bilski,203.432.3829.

Bioethics Workshop. The Bioethics Workshop provides a place for Yale faculty,graduate students, undergraduates, and community members to engage in inter-disciplinary bioethical discussion. A faculty member begins the session with anoverview of a bioethical issue; in some cases, the presentation centers on work inprogress. The discussion is then opened up to questions and comments fromattendees. This program aims to expose faculty members to different disciplines’ways of viewing bioethical issues while broadening awareness of the rich anddiverse resources available at Yale. Faculty, students, and community membersare welcome. The Bioethics Workshop meets monthly on Wednesdays from 12 to 1.30 p.m. in the Center for Bioethics Conference Room D130 at ISPS,77 Prospect Street. Faculty organizer and moderator: Robert J.

Economic History Workshop. ISPS is pleased to be supporting the Economic His-tory Workshop in the 2006–2007 academic year as a co-sponsor with the Eco-nomic Growth Center at the Yale Department of Economics. This weekly work-shop focuses on issues of long-run and historical economic growth anddevelopment. Speakers include Yale faculty and graduate students as well as dis-tinguished scholars from other institutions. A paper is normally available to beread in advance of each seminar meeting, and the workshop emphasizes informaldiscussion of the paper. All are welcome regardless of department or institutionalaffiliation.

The Economic History Workshop meets on Wednesdays from 4 to 5.30 p.m.at ISPS, 77 Prospect Street, Room A001. (Downstairs to the left as you enter thebuilding.) Faculty Organizer: Timothy Guinnane, Department of Economics.

Interdisciplinary Risk Assessment Forum. Risk assessment names a scientific activ-ity devoted to evaluating the exposures and effects of chemicals and other agents,with the goal of characterizing their magnitude and nature. The results yieldseemingly objective statements about what shall be considered “adverse” or“unsafe.” However, a system of subjective, societal valuations underlies its appar-ently scientific foundations. Such merging of objective and scientific analysesand subjective social valuations raises important ethical and political concerns.

Now in its seventh year, the Interdiscplinary Risk Assessment Forum pro-vides an opportunity to explore those concerns. The objective of the forum is toexplore the interdisciplinary nature of risk assessment from the perspectives ofboth theory and application. A select group of outside speakers, each prominentfor his or her work in areas related to risk assessment, discuss their perceptionsand understanding of the interface of society and science in risk assessment andrisk management.

The Interdiscplinary Risk Assessment Forum usually meets monthly onWednesdays from 12 to 1.30 p.m. To encourage wider participation, the meetingsrotate among the facilities at ISPS, the School of Forestry & EnvironmentalStudies, and Epidemiology and Public Health. Faculty organizer: JonathanBorak, M.D., Associate Clinical Professor, Internal Medicine and Epidemiologyand Public Health. Contact for information: Jonathan Moser, 203.432.5680.Web site: www.yale.edu/bioethics/workgroup/riskassesment.shtml

Political Theory Workshop. The Political Theory Workshop provides an informal,interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of work in progress. The workshopfeatures papers by Yale faculty members, visiting scholars, and graduate studentsin the fields of political philosophy, social theory, ethics, intellectual history, andrelated disciplines. Papers are distributed in advance and participants come pre-pared to discuss them in detail. The workshop meets on selected Thursdays from4.15 to 6 p.m. at ISPS, 77 Prospect Street, Room A001. The seminar is followedby a reception. For a list of speakers and the schedule, please visitwww.yale.edu/isps/seminars/politheo/index.html. Faculty organizer: Bryan

publicationsISPS Politics & Policy Book SeriesThe distinguishing feature of the ISPS Politics & Policy Book Series is the schol-arly depth and originality of each volume. Unlike most policy books, which focusnarrowly on specific social problems and public laws, the books in the ISPS seriesstrive to place laws and lawmaking in historical and comparative perspective.The authors advance bold and memorable arguments about topics of profoundsignificance. Readers will find a range of scholarly approaches—some qualita-tive, others quantitative—that together reflect the broad, multi-disciplinarycharacter of ISPS.



The latest books in the series from Bioethics and Medicine are The Yale Guideto Careers in Medicine and the Health Professions: Pathways to Medicine in the Twenty-First Century, edited by Robert M. Donaldson, Jr., M.D., Kathleen S. Lundgren,M.Div., and Howard Spiro, M.D.; Quantitative Evaluation of HIV Prevention Pro-grams, edited by Edward H. Kaplan and Ron Brookmeyer; City: Urbanism and ItsEnd, by Douglas W. Rae; and Race, Poverty, and Domestic Policy, edited by C.Michael Henry.

For anyone pondering a career in medicine or a related health profession, TheYale Guide to Careers in Medicine and the Health Professions is an essential resource.More than seventy professionals in the health field offer firsthand accounts ofhow and why they made their career choices and what the journey has been like.

The Kaplan and Brookmeyer book addresses the quantitative evaluation ofHIV prevention programs worldwide, assessing for the first time several differ-ent quantitative methods of evaluation.

In City, Douglas Rae depicts the features that contributed most to city life inthe early “urbanist” decades of the twentieth century. Rae’s subject is NewHaven, Connecticut, but the lessons he draws apply to many American cities.

In Race, Poverty, and Domestic Policy, C. Michael Henry addresses the ques-tion, what explains the continuing hardship of so many blacks in American soci-ety? The contributors analyze the long, complex structural and environmentalcauses of discrimination and the effects on African Americans—the impact ofpoverty, poor health, poor schools, poor housing, poor neighborhoods, and fewjob opportunities—and demonstrate how multiple causes reinforce each otherand condemn blacks to positions of inferiority and poverty.

ISPS JournalThe year 1998 marked the publication of Volume I of our ISPS Journal, which hasbeen produced every other year and is used both to highlight our scholars’ pub-lications and as a development piece for foundations and interested donors.Volume I, and our follow-up Volumes II, III, and IV, offer an inside look at ISPSfellows and their new books.

The selected books span a broad spectrum of policy concerns and perspec-tives. Some focus on domestic issues; others on cross-national. Some addresscontemporary problems; others historical. Some are quantitative; others quali-tative. All have won acclaim and will greatly shape the way others think aboutthese problems in years ahead. A characteristic common to all works chosen isthe attempt to link academic research to policy problems of pressing concern.How we manage children’s health risks, understand incentives in complex insti-tutions, or interpret historical struggles over ethnic diversity represents prob-lems that are at once topical and enduring. Authors were chosen because theirworks represent the aspirations of ISPS. For three decades, ISPS has been hometo scholars and practitioners who seek to inform contemporary policy debates bystepping back and gathering insights from a wide array of perspectives.

Each of the books leavens its analysis with insights drawn from history, soci-ology, economics, and political science. The result is scholarship that alters fun-damentally the way in which we understand the policy problems before us.

Yale Journal of Medicine and LawThe aim of the Yale Journal of Medicine and Law is to address perhaps the gravestissue facing America: our healthcare system. Although we live in a countyfraught with problems such as foreign policy and education, no country canfunction without a good healthcare system and ours is in serious need of renova-tion. It is this crisis that future physicians, lawyers, and politicians, as well as edu-cated citizens, need to know about in order to enact beneficial changes beforeour healthcare system falls apart entirely.

The Yale Journal of Medicine and Law seeks to act as a forum for the Yale com-munity. The Journal also seeks to address the problems in the American health-care system by informing Yale students about the impact of legislation on thefield of medicine. We hope that we can inspire Yale students to become passion-ate about changing the American healthcare system for the better. For contactinformation, see the Web site: www.yale.edu/medlaw/.
