Join us, visit CBIE

CBIE hosts visitors throughout the year. These visitors are graduate and post graduate researchers who join us for a few weeks to a year in order to share research, participate in our seminars and workshops and develop collaborative relationships with fellow scholars. In most cases, CBIE can offer office space and some administrative support (but no funding). If you are interested, send an inquiry to Marco Janssen at Marco.Janssen@asu.edu.

Meet one of our recent visitors, Beril Ocaklı

Empirically she traces institutional drivers of persisting conflict in the Kyrgyz mining sector in Central Asia.
