Scholars,
Now that APSA is over, we can start planning for the next round of
conferences :-) I have been asked to head MPSA's section on Information
Technology & Politics, and I ask you to consider submitting a proposal
to this section.
The section welcomes any proposal that contributes to our understanding of
the impact of technology on politics and policy (or vice-versa). We also
welcome proposals that apply or evaluate technology in innovative ways as
an instrument for teaching, data collection and dissemination, or
statistical/information visualization and analysis We welcome all types of
proposals, for papers, panels, roundtables, poster-sessions, chairs, and
discussants. (Proposals by faculty to discuss or chair panels are always
*more* than welcome :-).
To submit a proposal to present, chair or discuss on a panel, use the
online form by October 2nd:
http://www.indiana.edu/~mpsa/proposal/papermenu.html
(And on your proposal form, please designate section 36 as your first or
second section.)
Best,
Micah
