NEW PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CONVERSATION AND THE POLITICAL STUDIES ASSOCIATION

We are pleased to announce the world’s leading publisher of research-based news and analysis, The Conversation, and The Political Studies Association (PSA) have committed to working together over the next three years to achieve our shared goal for public discourse and policy to be informed by the very best in academic research.

This new partnership includes The Conversation being the PSA’s media partner for PSA26, its forthcoming international annual conference taking place in Oxford from 30 March – 1 April 2026.

Commenting on this new partnership, Editor-in-Chief of The Conversation in the UK, Stephen Khan said: “We are delighted to be partnering with this fantastic association to bring development opportunities to those taking part in their annual conference. We already engage millions of readers around the world with our politics and society content and are always keen to engage with new authors from a range of backgrounds. This new partnership with the PSA promises to deliver that.”

Michelle Doyle Wildman, PSA Chief Executive added: “I am thrilled that our respective organisations have made this commitment to work closer together to provide more opportunities for PSA members. We are very much looking forward to The Conversation UK’s team taking part in PSA26 and helping academics communicate their research more effectively.”
