The final program is now available for the second annual West Coast
Experimental Political Science Conference, which will be held on Friday,
May 15th, 2009. You may view the final program at
http://tert.ucr.edu/public/final_program.pdf
which has the schedule, registration information, contact information,
and other logistics. The conference either will be on the UCSD campus
or at the Del Mar Inn, in Del Mar, California (a beach town near La
Jolla). Lunch will be provided. There is no conference fee. To
register, you simply need to send an email to
[log in to unmask]
indicating your intention to attend, so we can get a head count for lunch.
We encourage anyone with an interest in experiments to attend; graduate
students are especially welcome, as well as those who are new to
experimental research.
This year's conference will have a "workshop" feel. Instead of standard
conference presentations, we have asked the presenters to focus each
talk on one substantively or methodologically interesting aspect of
their experimental work. The goal is to give the audience members
applied, practical advice on methods and design, and to demonstrate the
range of substantive topics that experimental political science can address.
The program provides contact information if you have any questions. See
everyone there.
