The Visions in Methodology Conference (VIM 2024) will take place on May 24th 2024, at Washington University in St Louis.

VIM is designed to address the broad goal of supporting women who study political methodology. VIM began as an implementation of recommendations for improved networking and systematic mentoring from the recent National Academy of Sciences report, the APSA Workshop on the Advancement of Women in Academic Political Science, and the 2006 Political Methodology Long Range Strategic Planning Committee Report. VIM provides opportunities for scholarly progress, networking, and professional mentoring in research and teaching in order to support women in the political methodology community. VIM is committed to supporting all individuals who have identified and continue to identify as women (including cisgender and trans women), intersex individuals who do not identify as male, individuals assigned female at birth who have not taken medical or legal steps to identify as male, and individuals assigned female at birth who do not identify within the gender binary.

If you wish to attend as a presenter, please submit a research proposal using this form<https://forms.gle/7f5kfrmfjyuGBtmP9> no later than February 28th, 2024. Discussants will mainly be drawn from the pool of participants. Applicants will be notified whether their proposal is accepted by March 20th, 2024.

The meeting is a premier venue to showcase and receive feedback on recent work in the field of political methodology as well as empirical applications of quantitative methods to substantive questions in political science and beyond. It is also an excellent opportunity for building professional networks and meeting the next generation of political scientists.

All caregivers are welcome to bring their infants to the meeting. The conference center provides lactation rooms that will be available to participants. If you would like to explore childcare options during the conference, please email [log in to unmask] as soon as possible and we will work on a case-by-case basis to try and meet your needs as best we can.

We look forward to seeing many of you in May!

Sincerely,

Lucia Motolinia and Betsy Sinclair
