After the success of its inaugural event last year, the American Politics Group (APG) is pleased to announce its call for papers for its second Postgraduate and Early Career Network Conference. The Eccles Centre at the British Library will host the event on 4 July 2019.
For the full conference programme, please click here.
The broad conference theme of ‘Continuity and Change in the Trump Presidency’ can be approached in various ways. Papers could, for example, take a long–term historical perspective when reflecting on the Trump presidency so far. We would also be happy to receive proposals beyond this particular theme. Papers or panel proposals that examine contemporary US political institutions or processes, foreign policy issues and/or political history would be welcomed. The conference organisers would also welcome papers that address comparative themes or relevant theoretical or methodological issues.
The APG is a diverse group of scholars. As such, we will not consider panels that consist solely of male presenters.
Proposals (no more than 150 words for single papers, 300 words for panels), as well as enquiries regarding the conference, should be sent to Darius Wainwright (d.wainwright@reading.ac.uk) by no later than 7 May 2019. Click here for more information.
This conference is generously funded by the Political Studies Association’s Pushing the Boundaries programme and the British Library, and we are able to offer very generous grants to ameliorate the costs of attendance and travel.
Thanks to the generosity of the PSA’s Pushing the Boundaries programme and the Eccles Centre at the British Library, the APG is able to offer free conference registration and complimentary lunch and refreshments. Places are, however, strictly limited and available on a first come, first serve basis. Please reserve your place via the Eventbrite link asap.
