Last year, the State Oversight Academy’s symposium connected scholars who study state legislatures with practitioners who serve as elected state lawmakers or as legislative staff. This year, we will take the same concept a step further: Equipped with this scholarly research, how can practitioners put these facts into practice to improve oversight in state legislatures?

This online event will begin with last year’s popular practitioner and scholars in dialogue format followed by a roundtable, in which scholars and practitioners will discuss how to put research into practice! We invite scholars and practitioners to join us to collaborate on these issues and work together to enhance legislative oversight practices and research in the field.

Join us on June 21 for a dialogue between academia and practice.
