The deadline to submit a proposal to present at the 65th Annual MPSA Political Science conference has been extended until 10/9/2006. The conference will be held April 12-15, 2007, at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago - the oldest continuously operating hotel in America. This conference is one of the largest in the discipline, with over 4,000 presenters and over 700 panels. There are currently 65 different "sections" (subfields or related organizations) that accept papers, panels, and offers to serve as chairs/discussants (see link further below). Please include this information in your departmental newsletter.

**** CONFERENCE REGISTRATION & HOTEL RATES ****

Hotel rates range from $99 for a Studio Single (they are small) to $174 for a regular single room, to $215 for a Towers single (which includes continental breakfast, snacks, etc.)

****CONFERENCE WORKING GROUPS****
The working group is essentially a seminar within the conference, that uses the different sessions of the conference for the content. It allows for a small group experience within a large conference. Working Groups can be organized (and led) by related groups or organizations or any member. For example, a person may organize a Working Group on the 2004 Election and pick as the content the various sessions that relate to that theme (this is done after the sessions are scheduled in January). The MPSA will provide a meeting room where each group can meet to start and to wrap-up the discussion, as well as a bulletin board where the groups can discuss issues prior to the conference (perhaps where to meet for lunch or dinner if they wish) as well as discuss issues after the meeting. If you are interested in organizing a Working Group, please send a proposal (with your name, contact info, and a 100 word description of the theme of the group) to [log in to unmask] Space is limited.
