Collaborate

Networks & Organizations collaborations examine how political actors, positions, organizations, and relationships shape the organization of power in East and Central Asia. Partners may contribute substantive expertise, languages, archival sources, relational data, comparative cases, or methodological insight.

Potential collaborations include joint research articles, conference panels, database development, data integration, archival research, and methodological exchange. Strong proposals connect a question about political organization to observable actors, positions, ties, or organizational outcomes and identify the countries and evidence involved.

Begin with a concise description of the research question, cases, available data or expertise, participating researchers, intended outputs, and provisional timeline. The lab will assess fit, data access, responsibilities, methods, authorship expectations, and a review schedule before work begins. Capacity varies, so timing and response expectations are confirmed during this initial fit review.

Start with the Networks & Organizations Approach and the political-organization Research Streams. Related publication and Database pages identify existing theory, measures, data, contributors, and literature that may support a proposal.

Contact Dr. Jacob Reidhead with the proposed question, cases, evidence, collaborators, outputs, and timing. The lab may suggest a narrower first step such as a data consultation, methods session, or pilot analysis. Collaboration interest does not itself grant member or researcher access.
