MIT Department of Political Science

Congratulations to In Song Kim, Class of 1956 Career Development Associate Professor of Political Science (link to bio here), recipient of the International Political Economy Society’s (page link here) Best New Dataset Award for his LobbyView database.

LobbyView is an extraordinary, continuously updated database of more than one million lobbying reports filed in the U.S. If you haven’t checked out the informational video (linked here) on the homepage yet, you should do so! (In Song’s cartoon likeness makes a cameo appearance.) The LobbyView.org project is supported by a team of department researchers, including Rémi Cura, Adam Rauh, Eliza Riley, and Lukas Wolters; Harry Li in MIT’s Lincoln Lab; and undergraduates Cole Hoffer, Hannah Liu, Jon Coden, Michael Hiebert, Andrew Shao, Emilio Amaya, and Maddy Li.

Congratulations to In Song and the entire LobbyView team!
