PSO Events in the Washington DC Area

Below are a list of the events hosted and sponsored by the Policy Studies Organization in the Washington Metropolitan Area. We are proud to partner with the American Public University System, in a joint effort to teach, discuss, and disseminate policy scholarship within our community. 

The PSO has played an important role in Washington life, over the years participating in many educational activities in the city. Its conferences have met the challenges presented by the virus by being online, with the promise of being hybrid, both face-to-face and virtual, just as soon as circumstances permit.  The conferences are free of registration fees and local teachers and students are encouraged to attend. As an added incentive, PSO books and journals are liberally given out .
