In keeping with the main conference theme, “Great Transformations:
Political Science and the Big Questions of Our Time,” we urge
Preconference submitters to think “big:” in terms of communication
theory, emerging technologies, fundamental normative questions of
democratic health, and ways of applying political communication research
to advance our understanding of – and even help solve – the big
questions of our time.

This year’s preconference, designed to allow time for both formal and
informal discussion and exchange of ideas, will feature:
• Nine panels (specific topics dependent on submissions)
• Two plenary sessions (a roundtable and open discussion on the 2016
presidential election, and a roundtable and open discussion on theory
and theory-building)
• Four facilitated “birds of a feather” discussions built around
specific and timely sub-topics within our field
• Time for informal exchanges during continental breakfast, lunch,
breaks, and a closing reception

The Preconference will take place 8am to 6:45pm Wednesday August 31st at
Temple University center city campus, 1515 Market Street, Philadelphia PA.
