Matrix is located on the 8th floor of Barrows Hall, on the UC Berkeley campus, near Telegraph and Bancroft Avenues, just up the hill from Sather Gate. There are entrances at both ends of the building, but only one of the elevators on the eastern side goes directly to the 8th floor. You can alternatively take the stairs to the 7th floor and walk up the stairs.

Join distinguished pollster Peter D. Hart for his lecture about the 2020 election and future of political polling.
The Citrin Award Lecture is an annual event of the Jack Citrin Center for Public Opinion Research. The Citrin Award recognizes the career of an individual who has made significant contributions to the study and understanding of public opinion. The honoree is selected by the Executive Committee of the Center and is invited to deliver a lecture in recognition of this Award. The 2019 Citrin Award honors the career of Peter Hart who has more than forty years pioneered the study of polling in campaigns through both innovative qualitative research to uncover the meaning of stated opinions and to measure reactions to candidates, issues and events through rigorous quantitative polls. Peter Hart has been a distinguished teacher in many universities, an insightful speaker in print, radio, and television, and a widely respected leader in the community of students of campaigns and elections.
The lecture will include Q&A and be followed by a reception. Seating is limited and registering does not guarantee a seat.
This event is sponsored by The Jack Citrin Center for Public Opinion Research, Charles and Louise Travers Department of Political Science, and Social Science Matrix.
