Paper Series

The ICRS Working Paper Series presents timely and ongoing early-stage scholarship to move debate forward by encouraging conversation among scholars, practitioners, and activists. Contributors include ICRS faculty affiliates, community scholars, and partners engaged in research and projects with ICRS. 

Our working papers go through an internal review, and authors are eager to take next steps in moving through publication pipelines towards wider dissemination. Working papers are available to download for free and will also be available through the Social Science Research Network.
