The inaugural MidSouth Education Policy Workshop will bring together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to present and discuss empirical research on education policy and the economics of education. This workshop is jointly organized by faculty at Miami University (OH), University of Kentucky, University of Tennessee, and Vanderbilt University.
The first workshop will be held in-person at the University of Kentucky (Lexington, KY) beginning the morning of Thursday, October 16th, and concluding in the afternoon on Friday, October 17th.
