The Pennsylvania Political Science Association invites proposals for its annual meeting to be held on March 31, 2023 hosted by Shippensburg University. The deadline for proposals is
March 1, 2023. Faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students, as well as journalists and practitioners, are welcome. Proposals are welcome for paper presentations, panel sessions, poster sessions, workshops, and roundtable discussions. We also welcome volunteers willing to serve as panel chairs and paper discussants. Descriptions of the opportunities to participate are as follows:
Paper presentations. Proposals from any participants are welcome for traditional academic paper presentations. These sessions involve several participants presenting research papers with a common theme, a chair coordinating the session, and an expert discussant providing feedback for each presenter.
Panel sessions. Proposals for panel sessions are encouraged from participants initiating research. These sessions will include panelists delivering prepared statements on their future research in order to coordinate ideas, raise potential issues, and produce an exchange of viewpoints among other experts on the topic. Panel chairs will facilitate the discussions.
Poster sessions. Proposals from undergraduate students are solicited for the poster sessions. These sessions will include a short (5-10 slides) narrated presentation submitted by undergraduate students. Several discussants will provide feedback to each presenter.
Workshops. Proposals for workshops are welcome from any participants. Workshops focus on imparting knowledge or advice from experts on any topics related to political science. The workshops are facilitated by the individual submitting the proposal and may include several experts on the topic. Examples of workshop topics include how to get published in top journals, how to coordinate an excellent student co-curricular activity such as debate, Model UN, Model NATO, etc., or how to increase the number of majors in political science at your institution.
Roundtable discussions. Roundtable discussions involve several experts facilitating a conversation on a specific theme. The individual submitting a proposal for a roundtable discussion will coordinate the discussion as well as secure additional experts to participate in the discussion. Examples of roundtable discussion include the 2022 midterm elections, policy responses to Covid-19, or international events.
Undergraduate students are asked to provide the name and contact information of a faculty advisor.
