The South Carolina Political Science Association (SCPSA) is the state-wide professional association of political scientists. We hold an annual conference held every spring and are the organization behind the Journal of Political Science. Lander University is proud to be the conference host for 2023. The conference will be held on Friday and Saturday, February 17 and 18.
You are invited to attend and present papers at the 2023 South Carolina Political Science Association (SCPSA) annual conference. We welcome paper submissions from all political science sub-fields, as well as full panel and roundtable proposals and volunteers to serve as discussants. In addition, we also welcome submissions from related academic fields that explore research questions of interest to political science scholars. Graduate and undergraduate students are strongly encouraged to present their work so that they can establish professional connections in the state and across the southeast region.
Proposal submission: To submit your proposals for papers, panels, or volunteer to serve as a chair or discussant, please email mmalone@lander.edu . If you are offering to serve as a chair or discussant, please indicate your fields of expertise. Participants may give more than one paper presentation. Panel proposals need to include at least three papers. In case of a lower number of papers, panels will be merged. If you want to present a paper, please include an abstract (max. 500 words). The abstract should mention your name, affiliation, and contact information.
