Media and Politics Group Stream
63rd Political Studies Association Annual International Conference
The Party’s Over
25 - 27 March 2013
City Hall, Cardiff

Deadline: Monday 1st October 2012

The 63rd Political Studies Association Annual Conference is to be held in Cardiff, and the Association’s Media and Politics Group (the MPG) will again be providing its own stream of panels, for which we invite proposals.

The conference is titled “The Party’s Over”, with such themes suggested as the failure of mainstream politics, the erosion of the supremacy of Western models, and the crisis of esteem faced by much of the news media.  While priority may be given to papers dealing with the conference theme, high-quality submissions dealing with any aspect of media and politics will be considered.

Proposals should include the following: title and name, institutional affiliation and address of each author, along with their preferred email address; and a paper title and abstract of not more than 200 words.  You should also say whether or not you are a postgraduate student.  **Please note that all abstracts that exceed the 200 word limit will be rejected out of hand.**

Proposals should be sent on or before Monday 1st October 2012 (tomediapoliticsgroup /at/ gmail.com).  Please note that this is an earlier deadline than for non-MPG submissions and that late abstracts will not be considered.

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
