WHAT IS THIS? We invite applications to attend or participate in the 28th annual Summer meeting of the Society for Political Methodology (a group separate from but nearly coincident with the APSA Political Methodology Section). This year we are generously hosted by Princeton University (http://polmeth.princeton.edu) and expect to have a very stimulating program. Past participants often describe these meetings as the most lively and intellectually engaging academic experience in Political Science. Graduate students and faculty interact closely together over the continuous formal and informal sessions. Also, nearly all of the papers presented at past conferences over the last three decades have been published in leading journals of the field. WHO SHOULD APPLY NOW? - Faculty who want to present papers or posters - Faculty volunteering to discuss - Faculty who simply want to attend - Junior faculty who want to be considered for limited funding - Graduate students who want to attend or a present poster (in other words: everybody). The DEADLINE for applications is March 15. Unlike other Political Science conferences these dates are ABSOLUTELY FIRM. No late applications will be accepted under any circumstances. HOW DOES ONE APPLY? Complete the simple forms at the SPM webpage: http://polmeth.wustl.edu/conferences/2011/1_apply/apply.php WHAT CAN BE PROPOSED? Faculty applicants are invited to propose a poster, a paper, a complete panel; to act as a discussant; or simply to attend the meeting. Graduate students are strongly encouraged to propose a poster presentation, which has a long history of being career-enhancing, but may also apply just to attend. All research topics relevant to political methodology are welcome. Courtesy of the National Science Foundation, we are able to fund 30-40 graduate students whose poster proposals are selected as the most promising. All graduate students need to supply a letter from a faculty sponsor. In addition, we fund a limited number of junior faculty at departments with restricted travel funds. Other faculty are expected to seek support from their home institutions to cover their travel and hotel expenses. QUESTIONS? CONCERNS?
