Good morning PolMeth members,



With apologies to those of you who have seen already seen this on other lists, I am writing to recirculate the call for papers for the 2022 Political Networks Conference. The deadline is extended one week, to April 11th.



Details below:





We write to remind everyone to apply to present at the 15th Annual Political Networks Conference and Workshops this summer! Please see below for the call for papers for the 2022 Political Networks Conference and some additional details on this year’s workshops. DEADLINE EXTENDED to Monday April 11!



The Fifteenth Annual Political Networks Conference and Workshops, extended virtual format, will be held June 13th–July 15th, 2022, hosted by The University of Iowa. Extended virtual format means that all events will be online but instead of two packed days of virtual panels we will have panels spread out over multiple weeks.



Sponsored by the Department of Political Science at UIowa, PolNet XV will feature one week of workshops (details below) and four weeks of panels, with each week including approximately 3-4 1.5-hour panels. Each panel will include up to four presentations. The program committee and host are pleased to invite proposal submissions.



For full consideration, proposals must be submitted by the NEWLY EXTENDED DEADLINE OF Monday, April 11th, 2022. Decisions regarding proposals will be announced by May 9th, 2022. Once proposals have been accepted, a conference organizer will coordinate with panelists to find a day and time that works. The panel dates and times will be finalized by June 6th, 2022. The final program will be announced publicly by June 10th, 2022.



To submit a paper proposal, please submit a title and abstract of no more than 350 words on the submission form: https://forms.gle/zSxEnq4TryLub6F87



We seek proposals for papers that engage in rigorous theoretical and/or empirical research on the application of networks to politics, public policy, and public administration. We also welcome contributions that develop novel methodological approaches to the analysis of political networks. We aim to have a conference that represents research from a broad range of subfields and methodologies, and submissions are encouraged from scholars in political science or related disciplines including sociology, communication, psychology, public policy, and computer science.



Please plan to attend the conference and preceding workshops in Summer 2022!
