Dear Colleagues
Call for papers, Media and Politics Group stream of panels
60th Political Studies Association Annual Conference
Sixty Years of Political Studies: Achievements and Futures
29 March - 1 April 2010
Hotel The George, Edinburgh, UK
Deadline: Friday 18th September 2009
The 60th Political Studies Association Annual Conference is to be
held in Edinburgh, and the Association's Media and Politics Group
(the MPG) will again be providing its own stream of panels, for
which we now invite proposals. While the conference is themed on
the achievements and futures of sixty years of political studies,
papers dealing with any aspect of media and politics will be considered.
The PSA is the UK's leading association in the study and research of
politics and the second largest in the world. The MPG is one of its
largest specialist groups.
Proposals should include the following: title and name,
institutional affiliation and address, and preferred email address;
together with, a paper title and abstract of not more than 200
words; and, whether or not you are a postgraduate student.
Proposals should be sent on or before Friday 18th September 2009 to
Professor Mick Temple (m.temple /at/ staffs.ac.uk). Please note that this
is an earlier deadline than for non-MPG submissions and that late
abstracts will not be accepted.
In common with previous years, abstracts submitted for the MPG
stream will be subject to two levels of peer review. In addition,
the PSA have a policy of limiting panels to one postgraduate student.
With good wishes
