Message From the Dean

The Woodrow Wilson School creates a space for Princeton in the policy arena.

This past year was one of both reflection and looking forward.

We spent much of last year engaged in a self-study, timed to coincide with the University’s campus-wide strategic review. This effort was intended to identify the School’s strengths and weaknesses as well as priorities for the next decade.

Committees made up of faculty and external reviewers produced reports that analyzed challenges: Are we teaching the right things? Are we teaching in ways that are effective?

And does our research line up with the current demands of the policy arena? In the coming year we will hone these findings and produce a final report for the University.

We announced the creation of the Daniel Kahneman and Anne Treisman Center for Behavioral Science and Public Policy, and an undergraduate Certificate Program in History and the Practice of Diplomacy. Both reflect important policy fields.

This report captures the quantity and quality of work produced at WWS in the past year. The first section focuses on our faculty and showcases examples of research conducted. The sheer breadth of topics reflects the multidisciplinary nature of our faculty, almost all of whom have a dual appointment with another department. Many are

also affiliated with one or more of the School’s 19 research centers, several of which are highlighted in this report. Because it is vital that the work of our faculty is disseminated and linked to current policy debates, we include a section on how we tell the WWS story.

Next is a section on our students. The School offers three graduate programs and an undergraduate liberal arts major. A key component of both the master’s and the undergraduate programs is a policy seminar where “real life” policy issues are tackled; four are presented here. We also showcase how our students spend time outside the classroom, melding their studies with policy-related activities.

We end the report with information about WWS graduate admissions, and internship and career placement results.

It has been an exciting year to think about where we have been and make plans for the future. I look forward to this coming year of further planning for the School’s next decade.

Best,

Does Life Satisfaction Increase With Age? Only in Some Places

8

Life satisfaction dips around middle age and rises in older age in high-income, Englishspeaking countries, but that is not a universal pattern, according to a research paper published by the Wilson School’s Angus Deaton. In contrast, residents of other regions — the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa — grow increasingly less satisfied as they age.

The study, published last year in The Lancet as part of a special series on aging, finds that older residents in the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries reported very low rankings of life satisfaction compared with younger residents in those regions.

Eastern European countries. And in sub-Saharan Africa, life satisfaction is very low at all ages.

“Economic theory can predict a dip in well-being among the middle age in high-income, English-speaking countries,” said Deaton, the Dwight D. Eisenhower Professor of Economics and International Affairs. “What is interesting is that this pattern is not universal. Other regions, like the former Soviet Union, have been affected by the collapse of communism and other systems. Such events have affected the elderly who have lost a system that, however imperfect, gave meaning to their lives, and, in some cases, their pensions and health care.”

When looking at life satisfaction scores across the regions, the researchers confirmed a well-known “U-shaped curve” that bottoms out between the ages of 45 and 54 in high-income, English speaking countries. These countries include the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. This curve

indicates that, in these countries, middle-age residents report the lowest levels of life satisfaction, which eventually bounces back up after age 54.

“This finding is almost expected,” Deaton said. “This is the period at which wage rates typically peak and is the best time to work and earn the most, even at the expense of present well-being, so as to have increased wealth and well-being later in life.”

The research also shows a two-way connection between physical health and well-being: poorer health leads to lower ratings of life satisfaction among the elderly, but higher life satisfaction seems to stave off physical health declines.

“Our findings suggest that health care systems should be concerned not only with illness and disability among the elderly but their psychological states as well,” Deaton said.

This same pattern is seen in Latin America and Caribbean countries, though life satisfaction does not decrease as sharply as in the

Powerful Perceptions: How Americans View Scientists

10

Susan Fiske has long studied the psychology behind individual intent and motivation. Her work addresses how stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination are encouraged or discouraged by social relationships.

And her more recent work shows how humans are hardwired to detect intent, quickly determining who is friend or foe.

This past year Fiske, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology and professor of public affairs, sought to examine the public’s perception of scientists. What she found was that many Americans perceive scientists as competent but lacking warmth, leading to feelings of distrust. In particular, Fiske’s study revealed that Americans are wary of researchers seeking grant funding and do not trust scientists pushing persuasive agendas.

climate scientists show concern for the environment, Fiske said, which could indicate warmth.

“Climate scientists have effectively conveyed much evidence, which should encourage them to continue educating and communicating,” Fiske said. “Just like other forms of communication, science communication needs to convey warmth and trustworthiness, along with competence and expertise.”

For the study, Fiske first asked an online sample of American adults to list typical American jobs. From there, she honed the list to 42 commonly mentioned jobs, which included scientists, researchers, professors and teachers.

one’s own individual stereotypes.

Overall, Fiske’s work demonstrates that while expertise is an essential ingredient for credibility, appearing trustworthy is also important. And people trust others who seem like themselves. Fiske urges scientists to remember these potential perceptions when speaking with the public.

“Rather than persuading, scientists may better serve citizens by discussing, teaching and sharing information to convey trustworthy intentions,” Fiske said.

Next, Fiske polled a new group of adults about these jobs, requiring them to rate the professions based on how American society views them regarding warmth and competence. This method was chosen deliberately, as it allowed Fiske to get a better sense of people’s reports of public images of groups. This also reduced the many biases attached with reporting

But this is not the case for all scientists.

Americans are slightly more trusting of climate scientists than other scientists or researchers. This is likely because

IPCC Must Consider Alternate Policy Views

12

In addition to providing regular assessments of scientific literature, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) also produces a “Summary for Policymakers” intended to highlight relevant climate policy issues through data.

While the summary presents powerful scientific evidence, it goes through an approval process in which governments can question wording and the selection of findings but not alter scientific facts or introduce statements at odds with the science.

That said, during an approval process last year, one of the summaries on mitigation policies was stripped of several important figures and paragraphs, leading some IPCC scientists to express concerns about excessive political intrusion.

Delicate issues of political interpretation cannot be avoided, wrote three IPCC authors in the journal Science.

They argue that the IPCC should consider a writing process that better connects scientific findings with multiple political outcomes.

In their analysis, the team — which includes Marc Fleurbaey from the Wilson School — uses global emissions data to show how multiple political interpretations can be made from the same dataset.

“The IPCC should consider opening up more channels for dialogue in which salient political discussions are connected to relevant scientific material,” said Fleurbaey, the Robert E. Kuenne Professor in Economics, Humanistic Studies and Public Affairs.

“Such a collaboration or coproduction is what lends the IPCC its credibility as the voice of scientists — but with more weight for policy.”

In their review, Fleurbaey and his co-authors write that it is the approval process that sets the IPCC apart from other technical reports. Instead of changing the approval process, they suggest an alternate vision for articulating science and policy at the IPCC.

When looking at income, countries are sometimes grouped into such categories as lower-income, lower-middle income, upper-middle income and high-income. The trouble, however, is that some countries are rapidly changing in terms of income, so relevant information is not included in the analysis. Likewise, a few big countries can dominate the statistics, and the time reference used for grouping them also can lead to large differences.

“Seemingly technical choices can crystallize into value-laden political conclusions, particularly given tight word and time limits,” Fleurbaey said. “It is more productive for authors to be aware of the varying political implications and factor these into their representations of data.”

To illustrate their idea, the researchers analyzed global emissions by reviewing income growth across countries.

Measles May Weaken Immune System up to Three Years

14

Because viruses temporarily suppress the immune system, a child who contracts measles and survives is at an increased risk for other serious, sometimes fatal illnesses. This vulnerability was previously thought to last a month or two, but research published this year by Wilson School researchers shows that children may in fact live in the immunological shadow of measles for up to three years, leaving them highly susceptible to a host of other deadly diseases.

Published in the journal Science, the study provides epidemiologic evidence that measles may throw the body into a much longer-term state of “immune amnesia,” where essential memory cells that protect the body against infectious diseases are partially wiped out.

than previously suspected,” said C. Jessica Metcalf, co-author and assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and public affairs. “In other words, if you get measles, three years down the road, you could die from something that you would not die from had you not been infected with measles.”

The researchers examined detailed population data available from the United States, England and Wales and Denmark — the only countries with the key variables required for the analysis. They looked at deaths among children between the ages of 1 and 9 in Europe, and 1 and 14 in the United States, in both pre- and post-vaccine eras.

This exploration uncovered a very strong correlation between measles incidence and deaths from other diseases, allowing for a “lag period” averaging roughly 28 months after infection with measles. This finding was consistent in all age groups across the three countries and also consistent in pre- and post-vaccine eras.

“In other words, reducing measles incidence appears to cause a drop in deaths from other infectious diseases due to indirect effects of measles infection on the human immune system,” said Bryan Grenfell, Kathryn Briger and Sarah Fenton Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Public Affairs. “At the population level, the data suggest that when measles was rampant, it may have led to a reduction in herd immunity against other infectious diseases.”

The research findings suggest that — apart from the major direct benefit of protecting against measles — the vaccination may also provide indirect immunological protection against other infectious diseases.

“The real smoking gun would be to carry out cohort studies (tracking a large group of people over time), as well as to explore the immunological mechanisms underlying the responses we see,” Grenfell said.

This research was featured in more than 100 media outlets across the globe.

“We already knew that measles attacks immune memory, and that it was immunosuppressive for a short amount of time. But this paper suggests that immune suppression lasts much longer

A Comprehensive Portrait of Stalin’s Place in the World

16

In fall 2014, after more than a decade of work, Stephen Kotkin, the John P. Birkelund ‘52 Professor in History and International Affairs, published “Stalin, Volume 1: Paradoxes of Power,” the first part of his extensive, three-volume Joseph Stalin biography.

The first volume, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, covers the period from Stalin’s birth in 1878 through his rise to power and ends with his decision in 1928 to collectivize Soviet agriculture — what Kotkin calls the “core crime” of the Bolshevik regime.

The book opens by focusing on the confluence of world events that set the stage for Stalin’s rise.

“It’s the grand sweep of history in which, I hope, Stalin’s contribution becomes much clearer and he becomes much more accessible because of all these new source materials that I have tried to synthesize,” Kotkin said. “We have the person and the personality.

We have his ideas. We have the institutions. We have the geopolitics.”

After earning his undergraduate degree from the University of Rochester, Kotkin studied the history of France and the Habsburg dynasty at the University of California, Berkeley — before a conversation with French philosopher Michel Foucault set him on a new course. Kotkin said Foucault suggested that someone should apply his ideas, which focused on the relationship between power and knowledge, to Stalin.

Since then, Kotkin, who is co-director of the new Certificate Program in History and Diplomacy and acting director of the Program in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies, has focused his studies on Stalin and the Soviet Union. In fact, Kotkin was the first American in 45 years allowed to visit Magnitogorsk, an industrial city developed as part of Stalin’s infamous five-year plans.

on the third volume, which takes up World War II and the Cold War and continues beyond Stalin’s death in 1953 to address his legacy.

By the time he finishes, Kotkin expects the books will comprise roughly 1.5 million words on Stalin and Russian power in the world, a length befitting the importance of his subject.

“Stalin had three decades as a dictator in the largest country in the history of the world,” Kotkin said.

“Besides Mao and Hitler, I’m not sure who else you mention in the same category as Stalin. I don’t know a bigger subject.”

The second volume of the Stalin trilogy, which Kotkin drafted concurrently with the first and will be released in a few years, covers the period from 1929 to 1941. Kotkin is still at work

Disclosing Wages May Result in Unintended Consequences

18

In the era of big data, transparency has become a popular policy tool for addressing potential problems. But publicly disclosing personnel information — such as government officials’ income — may result in unintended consequences.

Work published by Alexandre Mas, professor of economics and public affairs, shows that city managers — typically the highest-paid city employees — saw an 8 percent reduction in pay after their salaries were disclosed to the public. These cuts also triggered a 75 percent increase in the quit rate among city managers.

“On the surface, transparency seems unambiguously good. Why wouldn’t we have transparency?” Mas said.

“This work shows that there may be unintended effects from these policies.

If the public has an adverse response to large salaries, regardless of whether these salaries are justified, there might be adverse consequences.”

Mas used California data for the study because, in 2010, the state issued a mandate requiring all cities to post municipal salaries online. While some cities had previously disclosed municipal salaries, the mandate required disclosure in the remainder of the cities.

After combing through an Internet database of historical webpages, newspaper archives and public records, Mas compared the evolution of wages between cities that had and previously had not disclosed city manager wages but changed course and made the wage amounts public.

Once their wages were disclosed, city managers saw an average pay cut of about 8 percent, according to Mas’ calculations. He also found that following the 2010 mandate, there was a sharp increase in the quit rate of city managers. These numbers suggest that city managers might have been at their tipping point on the salary scale.

“It suggests that these high-level officials had better outside opportunities.”

The findings suggest that top salaries are cut because they appear excessive, regardless of whether the reductions in pay are good policy.

The data also suggest that media exposure restrained high wages in cities where the top salaries were already disclosed.

This research brief was recognized as the No. 1 most popular news release in 2014 on EurekAlert!, a service that provides research summaries to the media. The story received 180,000 visits.

“The salaries these city managers earned were enough to keep them there, but the pay cuts were enough for them to leave,” Mas said.

What Happens to the Children of Unmarried Mothers?

20

A paper issued this year by the Wilson School and Harvard University shows that more than half of all American children will likely live with an unmarried mother at some point before they reach age 18.

The article — co-written by Sara McLanahan, William S. Tod Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs and director of the Bendheim-Thoman Center for Research on Child Wellbeing, and Christopher Jencks of Harvard University — shows that unmarried motherhood now occurs earlier in a child’s life or even at the very beginning. The rate of unmarried motherhood also has spread fastest among mothers who have not completed college.

The authors write that these factors leave children doubly disadvantaged: they spend less time with and receive less money from their biological fathers than children who live with their fathers, and the primary breadwinner in the family — the mother — has far lower earnings than the typical mother in a married-parent family.

Unmarried mothers are also likely to exhibit high rates of partner turnover during their peak fertility years, meaning that children now experience multiple men entering and exiting their lives. All of this contributes to a very chaotic childhood, the authors write, which can have lifelong consequences — especially related to education and employment.

and crime, especially for African Americans.

Data used for the report comes from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, pioneered by McLanahan, which is following a cohort of nearly 5,000 children born in large American cities between 1998 and 2000.

“High levels of instability and complexity have important consequences for children’s home environment and the quality of the parenting they receive,” McLanahan said. “Children growing up with an unmarried mother are exposed to more family instability and complexity, they have more behavior problems and they are less likely to finish high school or attend college than children raised by both of their parents.”

The report was written to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the controversial “Moynihan Report,” a 1965 study arguing that growing up in homes without a male breadwinner led to a life of poverty, unemployment

An Uneven Progress Toward King’s Goal of Economic Justice

22

At Princeton’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration, Cecilia Rouse, dean of the Wilson School, looked back at King’s call for economic justice for all and assessed the nation’s uneven progress toward that goal.

Students, faculty, staff and community members came together on campus at Richardson Auditorium for musical performances, remarks from several speakers on King’s legacy and the presentation of the University’s Martin Luther King Journey Award. In her keynote address, Rouse said King eloquently highlighted the need for improved economic conditions for the poor in a speech given the day before his assassination.

“It was quite purposeful that King paid attention to economics in this speech,” Rouse said. “For King, the Promised Land wasn’t just about being equal under the law. He wanted legal rights to translate into economic and human rights. So the theme of my talk is about this next phase — and sadly the last phase — of his work. How has the country — and particularly African Americans — fared since the launch of the Poor People’s Campaign?”

Cecilia Elena Rouse Dean; Lawrence and Shirley Katzman and Lewis and Anna Ernst Professor in the Economics of Education; Professor of Economics and Public Affairs

In 1966, about 15 percent of Americans lived below the poverty line, Rouse said. Today, the percentage is about the same. That means that today about 45 million people in the United States live on less than $24,000 for a family of four. For African Americans, the poverty rate is down from 42 percent in 1966 to 27 percent today. Still, that is twice the poverty rate of whites, she said.

“So, what do we do about poverty in the U.S.?” Rouse asked. “I would argue that in some areas we have enacted policies that are quite good and in other areas we have next to none.

The trend has been to tie assistance to employment — training programs, the Earned Income Tax Credit, child care subsidies, even extra cash assistance for those who work. These work-based policies have largely escaped the cuts in Congress and in some cases have been given a boost. But a safety net for those who cannot work — either because they can’t find work over the long term or because they are unable to work — is pretty nonexistent.”

Rouse concluded her speech with a call to continue King’s work.

“African Americans have made progress in the last half century,” she said. “But … we are not there yet. When nearly 600,000 individuals are homeless on a single January night in the U.S. — one-quarter of whom are children and nearly 40 percent of whom are in families — we are not there yet. We cannot quit now.”

Creating a Network of “Builders”

24

During the spring 2015 semester, Jennifer Widner, professor of politics and international affairs, introduced an online version of her course “Making Government Work in Hard Places.”

Offered alongside her traditional graduate-level course with 19 enrolled students, the nine-week online course reached more than 2,000 learners around the world.

Aiming to reach a global audience, Widner made the online class available through NovoEd, a massive open online course (MOOC) platform, which is geared toward teambuilding and discussion. Thanks to the website’s online messaging and community forums, the MOOC learners were able to foster collaboration across cultures and connect with people with shared interests.

“A lively exchange among people who live in different countries enriches everyone’s awareness of the challenges that arise when trying to improve government performance,” Widner said.

Jennifer A. Widner Professor of Politics and International Affairs; Director, Innovations for Successful Societies

“In both classes, we were aiming to create a network of ‘builders’ — people who value serving citizens well. The MOOC is an especially good foundation for this kind of network.”

The online course and bricks-andmortar Princeton class were similar in that they were comprised of lectures, assigned readings and discussions. Each week, students examined a particular governance topic through the lens of real-world examples. These case studies were compiled by Innovations for Successful Societies (ISS), a center based at the Wilson School and founded and directed by Widner.

“People formed networks through the course,” Widner said. “For example, three people from Slovakia met each other. They had similar interests and responsibilities in Slovakia. And one of our Master in Public Policy students here found he was able to make contact with people doing similar things in other parts of the world.”

In both classes, students worked in teams. MOOC participants — academics, policymakers and public members — made up 110 teams, some with shared interests and others that were random.

Three teams of students were created at the Wilson School, and they regularly reviewed the online MOOC contributions, gleaning on-the-ground perspectives.

Overall, the MOOC had a wide reach, with 2,164 students enrolled, of which 466 were auditors.

Remarkably, only 114 withdrew.

The range of countries represented in the MOOC was extensive, with participants from such countries as the United States, India, Pakistan, Ghana, China, Indonesia, Chile, Mexico, Brazil, Afghanistan, Yemen and Iraq.

Center for the Study of Democratic Politics

The Center for the Study of Democratic Politics (CSDP) was created in 1999 to support empirical research on democratic political processes and institutions with a focus on the relationship between democratic ideals and democratic practice.

The center encourages rigorous social scientific analysis that informs and is informed by normative theories of democracy.

Directed by Markus Prior, associate professor of politics and public affairs, last year CSDP provided educational programming and supported research for 30 faculty associates, 30 Ph.D. students and four distinguished visiting scholars during their ten-month appointments.

CSDP sponsors a weekly seminar series where affiliated faculty members discuss their research and engage with graduate students. Another regular forum is the CSDP American Politics Colloquium Series, which brought in seven distinguished scholars for two- or three-day visits to give a talk and meet individually with faculty and 36

graduate students. As a means of providing students ongoing feedback, the center co-sponsored this year’s annual poster session in which Ph.D. students present research.

The center organized a number of large public events. A particular highlight was “The Silent Sex: Discussion Dynamics and Women’s Status on Campus and Beyond,” which featured Tali Mendelberg, professor in the Department of Politics. She discussed her new book about the impact women’s lower confidence can have in public discussion settings.

Developed in collaboration with various undergraduate student organizations and departments, the panel included faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students who addressed the implications of Mendelberg’s research for campus life and culture at Princeton.

CSDP also hosted a meeting on behalf of The Engaging News Project from the University of Texas, in which about 20 representatives of the largest print and native digital media outlets shared perspectives on the current state of the art and discussed how to diminish political polarization among users. CNN, NPR, Vox, Politico, The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal were among the organizations represented, in addition to CSDP faculty and graduate students and Wilson School affiliates.

Program in Law and Public Affairs

The Program in Law and Public Affairs (LAPA) is a joint venture of the Wilson School, the University Center for Human Values and the Office of the Provost. Founded in 1999, LAPA facilitates teaching and research on law across the University.

In addition to coordinating the efforts of Princeton law-engaged faculty, LAPA brings to campus visiting research scholars who join the program community for the year and work on an individual project; last year, five participated. LAPA also supports students interested in law in many ways: lunches for policy students; public talks and conferences; and the Liman Fellowship Program, which provides stipends to graduate and undergraduate students who spend a summer working at a public interest law organization. Five students participated in the Liman Fellowship Program in 2014 and six in 2015.

Last year, notable events included:

• ”Civil Liberties in Times of War,” co-sponsored with the Wilson School and the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library, to examine how security and technology affect civil liberties in the 21st century; • “Now That We Know: Technology, Law, Journalism and Policy After Snowden,” co-sponsored by the Center for Information Technology Policy (CITP) and the Wilson School, which included a live conversation between Edward Snowden from Russia and Barton Gellman ’82 in Princeton; and • Two lunchtime series events: “Islamic Law in Perspective: Guiding Policymakers in Understanding Shari’ah Today” with the Muslim Life Center and “Can Law Keep up With Technology?” with CITP. LAPA also hosted its annual retreat for law-engaged faculty, graduate students, fellows and visitors.

LAPA was directed for 11 years by Kim Lane Scheppele, the Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Sociology and International Affairs. She stepped down as of July 1, 2015, and the position was assumed by Paul Frymer, professor in the Department of Politics.

• “Religions, Rights, and Institutions,” a forum that brought together Israeli and U.S. scholars;

Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination

The Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination at Princeton University (LISD) supports teaching and research on selfdetermination related to the state, self-governance, sovereignty, security and diplomacy. Founded in 2000 through a gift from H.S.H. Prince Hans Adam II of Liechtenstein, the Institute especially focuses on socio-cultural, ethnic and religious issues involving state and non-state actors.

Led by Founding Director Wolfgang Danspeckgruber, LISD looks for innovative and sustainable solutions to tackle pressing global issues. By bringing together academics, practitioners, decision-makers and representatives of the public and private sectors to explore key events and crises, LISD seeks to enhance global peace and stability. It involves graduate and undergraduate students with all aspects of LISD projects, from conferences to participating in diplomatic discussions.

This past year, the Honorable José Manuel Durao Barroso, former 38

president of the European Commission, participated in multiple LISD events and taught and advised students as the Frederick H. Schultz Class of 1951 Visiting Professor of International Economic Policy. He has added to the intellectual work of LISD through a project that examined the European Union’s relations with Russia, the United States and China.

LISD regularly sponsors public lectures, seminars and workshops. Last year, the institute organized the conference “Grand Strategy and Self-Determination” at the Wilson School, which addressed security and power in a changing international system. In tandem, LISD’s colloquium report of the same name analyzed the relevance of grand strategy through a historical and contemporary lens.

Not confined to Princeton’s campus, LISD hosted “The Congress of Vienna, 1815/2015/2115: Analyses, Perspectives, Projections,” in Vienna, Austria at the Gartenpalais Liechtenstein to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Congress of Vienna.

Students can also sharpen their geopolitical analyses with LISD’s large collection of maps. More than 110 maps provide students with the ability to survey border regions that are central to many of the world’s conflicts.

Working with the University’s carpenter shop, the map room was further enhanced last year with an elaborate map table that serves as the conference table of the institute.

Princeton University Survey Research Center

Founded in 1992 with a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Princeton University Survey Research Center (SRC) is a consultation, education and project management resource.

The center assists students and faculty in designing and implementing survey research projects, providing consultation and guidance on study design, sampling, instrument development and data collection processing.

Led by Founding Director Alan B. Krueger, the Bendheim Professor of Economics and Public Affairs, last year SRC assisted nine faculty and post-doctoral research projects, 75 graduate student projects, 63 undergraduate student projects and 44 surveys conducted by University administrators.

Projects of note from 2014-15 include: • The creation of a series of questions for the monthly Consumer Survey at the University of Michigan, which examines the use of bonuses and other incentives by employers to encourage recruitment of new employees; • A new survey of municipal, regional and state economic development officers for a visiting scholar at the Wilson School;

• Continued work on the Graduate Education Initiative Study during the final year of a three-year, $500,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; • Processing student test results for an evaluation of a dual language instruction program conducted by another Wilson School center, the Education Research Section; • Work on Princeton’s Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising, Resources and Education (SHARE) program to develop assessment measures for implementation of a bystander intervention program; • A new version of a survey of 12,000 federal government workers first completed in 2009 for the Wilson School’s Center for the Study of Democratic Politics; and • The completion of 231,595 interviews for 175 web-based surveys and experiments.

During the academic year, Associate Director Edward Freeland taught a half-term graduate seminar at the Wilson School titled “Surveys, Polls and Public Policy.” The course covered the use and misuse of survey methods, error in survey design and analysis, questionnaire development and testing, data collection techniques, coding and data processing, experimental design and ethical issues in survey research. The course also studied survey designs for policy evaluation studies and public opinion research.

Office of Population Research

Founded in 1936, the Office of Population Research (OPR) is a leading demographic research and training center. Bringing together faculty and students with broad interests in population, OPR has a distinguished history of contributions in formal demography.

OPR

The program — directed by Douglas Massey, Henry G. Bryant Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs — consists of more than 30 faculty and research scholars and a number of postdoctoral fellows and visiting scholars. These academics explore such topics as children, youth and families; data and methods; education and stratification; health and well-being; and migration and development.

An integral part of the research and training program at OPR is the weekly Notestein Seminar Series, named after OPR Founding Director Frank Wallace Notestein. This series provides a forum in which OPR staff, students and visiting scholars can become acquainted with current research projects. Students writing theses are required to present a sem-

40

inar in this series in order to receive suggestions on their research and to obtain experience in making public presentations. Demographers and social scientists from nearby institutions are frequently invited to present their research findings in this series.

OPR is dedicated to the study of populations over time. Examples of research projects from 2014-15 that capture the nature of OPR’s work include: • A study that explored issues of hypersegregation, areas in which black residents experience high levels of segregation, showed that hypersegregated cities — like Baltimore, Maryland, and Ferguson, Missouri — are places where the country’s most severe problems of urban poverty, racial inequality and racial violence are taking root. The findings urged action promoting integration and the removal of discrimination barriers, especially those related to housing.

• Looking across the globe, another OPR study published last year found that more than 40 percent of women in India are underweight when they begin pregnancy. The findings highlight poor maternal nutrition in India, the researchers said, as babies born to undernourished mothers often face issues related to height, cognition and productivity across a lifetime.

Program in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy

The Program in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy at the Wilson School, commonly know as STEP, uses scientific integrity to address real-world policy issues.

Comprised of nine core faculty and 11 faculty affiliates, STEP research projects explore the science and policy of topics like global climate change, biotechnology, disease in the developing world, nuclear weapons and computer privacy.

The program is directed by Michael Oppenheimer, a leading climate scientist and the Albert G. Milbank Professor of Geosciences and International Affairs. STEP brings together faculty experts from engineering, computer science, astrophysics, biology and more. Students also make up the backbone of STEP: the program offers a Ph.D. in Public and International Affairs with a focus in STEP and a certificate in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy for MPA and MPP Students.

Technology and Environmental Policy — along with numerous graduate student seminars throughout the academic year.

Last year, a team of scientists led by a STEP researcher confirmed the discovery of a new bird species more than 15 years after the elusive animal was first seen on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. Another research team found that many abandoned oil and natural gas wells in northwestern Pennsylvania leaked substantial quantities of methane. And a policy paper published in Nature Climate Change highlighted the dangers attached to converting Africa’s wet savannas into farmland, a move that would bring with it high environmental costs.

In the years ahead, STEP will focus on collaborating with other science departments across campus to enhance the University’s efforts in environmental policy.

Boasting a robust events calendar, the program offers weekly lunchtime seminars featuring the work of top scientists — formally known as the David Bradford Seminars in Science,

Graduate Policy Workshops

Fragile State Elections As part of the graduate policy workshop “Managing Elections in Fragile States,” 10 students traveled to Myanmar (also known as Burma), to assess preparations for the 2015 elections, a critical component of the country’s democratic transition. They met stakeholders from government and non-governmental institutions and also met Aung San Suu Kyi, chairperson of the National League for Democracy, pro-democracy advocate and winner of the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize. The visit ended with a presentation of the workshop’s initial findings to the U.S. Ambassador to Myanmar, Derek J. Mitchell.

The workshop was led by Jeffery W. Fischer, a policy practitioner with extensive experience supporting electoral processes in post-conflict societies such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, East Timor, Kosovo and Iraq. The course covered election management bodies, electoral systems, observation and vulnerabilities around malpractice and violence. Upon returning from their trip, students prepared a final report that was presented to officials at the United Nations Electoral Assistance Division in New York City and the United States Agency for International Development in Washington, D.C. The Affordable Care Act Led by Heather Howard, lecturer in public affairs and director of the State Health Reform Assistance Network, and the Network’s deputy director,

Dan Meuse, students spent the 2014 fall semester analyzing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) coverage and delivery system reforms in the policy workshop, “Policy, Operational and Political Implementation Challenges of the Affordable Care Act.” As the students learned, while many of the immediate implementation problems of the ACA have been fixed since its well-documented rough rollout, there is still much to do to improve functionality and operations.

The state of Minnesota was the workshop client, which allowed students to examine implementation through a state’s political and operational environment. Over their fall break, the class traveled to Minnesota where they interviewed state representatives and experts from MNsure, the state’s health insurance marketplace, and Minnesota’s Department of Human Services.

Their research concluded with recommendations empowered by Section 1332 of the ACA, which gives states the opportunity to waive certain requirements of the law to build affordable, innovative programs. In addition to presenting to Minnesota officials, the students later presented their report to former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, under whom the ACA was developed.

Undergraduate Policy Task Forces

Cybersecurity The undergraduate task force “Cybersecurity: Attacks and Consequences” analyzed the public harm of cyberattacks. The 10 juniors and one senior commissioner were led by Joel Reidenberg, visiting lecturer at the Wilson School and 2013-14 inaugural Microsoft Visiting Professor of Information Technology Policy at Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy. A cybersecurity expert, Reidenberg is the Stanley D. and Nikki Waxberg Chair in Law and Professor of Law at Fordham University, where he directs the Center on Law and Information Policy.

Guest speakers included Leo Taddeo, special agent in charge of the FBI’s cyber/special operations division; Timothy Howard, assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York’s complex frauds and cybercrime unit; and Terrell McSweeny, commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission.

Top: Students present to staff from the House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security.

Bottom: Students in New York City, where they met with staff at the United Nations.

The final report argues that while the U.S. has enhanced its defense against cyberattacks, the policy debate has largely focused on industry protection and not on the people whose security has been compromised. In Washington, D.C., the students recommended policies to mitigate the harm suffered by those victims in presentations to Homeland Security Committee and White House National Security Council staff and the Special Assistant to the President for Cybersecurity, Michael Daniel ’92.

Diplomacy Last spring, eight juniors, two senior commissioners and a graduate assistant from the Master in Public Affairs program studied diplomatic tools in drawn-out social conflicts in “Diplomacy and Chronic Conflicts.” Led by Daniel C. Kurtzer, S. Daniel Abraham Visiting Professor of Middle East Policy Studies and former U.S. ambassador to Egypt and to Israel, the undergraduate task force looked at case studies of ongoing conflicts that challenge classic diplomacy techniques.

In drafting the final report’s policy recommendations, the class considered how its findings were pertinent to the work of the United Nations (U.N.), homing in on the field of preventive diplomacy in which quick, short-term efforts are made to stop a foreseen conflict from evolving.

The students presented their research and recommendations in New York City, meeting first with Anthony Banbury, the U.N.’s assistant secretary-general for field support.

They then visited the United States Mission to the U.N. where they presented to Ambassador Isobel Coleman ’87, U.S. representative to the U.N. for U.N. Management and Reform and a Wilson School undergraduate alumna, and William Wagner ’10, MPA’14, a former Scholars in the Nation’s Service fellow who is currently working in the U.S. Mission’s political section.

Beyond the Classroom

52

Learning is not limited to the formal curriculum. WWS students are fully engaged in learning about public policy outside the classroom.

They attend almost-daily lectures by leading policy makers and practitioners, participate in extracurricular organizations and conduct field work around the globe.

The Wilson School hosts many events during the year: public lectures, student lunch-timers, leadership visitors and policy forums. The School also hosts events in New York City and Washington, D.C., to showcase

our faculty expertise. All public affairs events enrich formal course work by exposing students to leading policy makers and advocates from within and outside the School. In addition, our students are involved in many

organizations across campus.

A number become deeply involved in the operations of the School by participating in WWS-specific organizations.
