EVENT OVERVIEW:
MPSA Annual Conference
In the spring of each year, the MPSA holds one of the largest political science conferences in the discipline. In 2013, more than 5,700 presenters from the United States and 55 countries throughout the world presented more than 4,700 papers. Conference presentations are organized by topic in more than 70 sections based on different subfields or areas of study. Many of these are interdisciplinary and draw scholars from different fields, providing a variety of perspectives. As our attendee survey and comments from past attendees attest, this is a popular conference.
The 2014 conference will have several new elements, including the Empire Lecture Series, an Open Discussion session where people can meet and discuss a topic of common interest with no pre-planned presentations, and a section with Professional and Career Development. In addition, there will be new section that will include review articles and articles on the state of a subfield called "Politics in Review."
As usual, the conference kicks off with the Welcome Reception on Wednesday evening. Other highlights are the Exhibitors' Reception on Thursday night and the President’s Reception on Saturday evening. As always, the hub of activity at the conference is the Exhibit Hall, open Thursday through Saturday.
