IGRI workshop at Arizona State University
Dr. Arezoo Mirzaei recently attended the prestigious annual Institutional Grammar Research Initiative (IGRI) workshop at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. This event, led by Prof. Saba Siddiki, Prof. Ute Brady, and Prof. Christopher Frantz, provides an invaluable platform for professional exchange and insight into the latest applications of “Institutional Grammar” (IG).
Dr. Mirzaei uses this advanced quantitative tool to compare "Institutional Statements" in her analyses, including the study of Iran's groundwater legislation. Further is works on methodological questions, such as the bias when the legislation’s original language is not the one scholars use for analyzing the written statements. The workshop allowed her to engage in enriching discussions of these questions with leading experts in the field, significantly advancing her research.
Many thanks to all the organizers and speakers who made this event a remarkable experience!
