Fundación Ciudad Política: liderar el desarrollo de la
ciencia política para mejorar la sociedad global.

Dear Colleagues:
We’re writing to ask you to help us to spread the word about the IPSA Summer School on Concepts, Methods, and Techniques in Political Science, which will be held at the University of São Paulo during the first two weeks of February 2010. With generous support from the International Political Science Association, the University of São Paulo, and a variety of Brazilian research agencies, our goal is to offer advanced training in political science methods to promising young scholars throughout Latin America.

We're particularly interested in recruiting the very best Latin American assistant professors, post-doctoral students, or Ph.D. candidates who will be able to benefit from the School, and having attended, will be able to carry their new skills back to their home institutions. We would be very grateful if you could help us by spreading word of this exciting new opportunity among your most promising young colleagues. Our website, http://summerschool.ipsa.org, contains up to date information about the program.

Sincerely,

Professor Dirk Berg-Schlosser
Executive Director, IPSA Summer School on Concepts, Methods, and Techniques in Political Science Professor of Political Science, Marburg University, Germany Professors Leandro Piquet Carneiro and Matthew M. Taylor Local Coordinators, University of São Paulo Contact email: summerschool@ipsa.org
