John Brademas Center for the Study of Congress

The John Brademas Center for the Study of Congress at the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service is a center at New York University focused on the role of Congress with regard to U.S. policy-making. The center is supported by a grant directed by the U.S. Congress as well as private donations.

Mission

The mission of the John Brademas Center for the Study of Congress is to increase the understanding of Congress—“the People’s Branch” of government— its role in making policy; its powers, processes and responsibilities. The Center’s bi-partisan work is aimed at scholars, students, current and future public servants and the public. The Center conducts research, teaches and holds public outreach events—such as symposia and conferences—and hosts policy addresses by members of Congress. Its programming aims to explore issues and problems of the legislative branch from new perspectives. As a part of the New York University’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, the Center seeks to help the next generation of public service leaders develop a deeper understanding of how and why Congress makes decisions. The Center is named for founder John Brademas, who served in the U.S. House for 22 years (1959–81).
