REMINDER -- Deadline March 1st for application for participation

Call for Participation: the 2006 Summer Society for Political
Methodology Summer Meeting

The 23rd Annual Summer Methodology Conference will be held July
20-22, 2006, on the campus of the University of California, Davis.
These meetings are sponsored by the Society for Political Methodology
and the APSA Political Methodology Organized Section.  Further
support comes from the UC Davis Department of Political Science and
the National Science Foundation.

Attendance at the Summer meeting is by invitation. To apply to attend
the meetings fill out the application form at the Society's webpage:
http://polmeth.wustl.edu/conference.php. Applicants stipulate their
willingness to give a paper, act as discussant, present a poster (all
graduate students), or simply attend.  The deadline for applications
is March 1 this year and formal invitations will be sent out April 1.
Notice that this is a bit earlier than in previous years.

Graduate students are always encouraged to apply.  Graduate students
who are accepted for the conference will have their expenses (airfare
and conference registration) paid by a grant from the National
Science Foundation. Some faculty have been able to fund the
attendance of their students, which is extremely helpful to the Society.

The registration is $200 for each faculty member, which must be paid
in advance of the conference to Jonathan Katz, Treasurer. UC Davis is
providing housing, meals, and entertainment for the conference
participants in addition to sponsoring the conference
facilities.  Faculty are expected to obtain support from their home
institutions to cover their conference expenses. In the case of
untenured faculty who are unable to obtain support from their home
institutions, reimbursement of airfare (but not the registration fee)
will be available, but tenured faculty are expected to be self-supporting.

Davis is located between San Francisco and Sacramento next to the
Napa Valley (http://psblade.ucdavis.edu/methods.contact.info.html).
Nearby activities and attractions include hiking, white water
rafting, wine country tours, the Mondavi Center for the Performing
Arts, Lake Tahoe, the Yolo Basin wildlife preserve, and the Triple-A
Affiliate of the Oakland A's.

We thank our host, Jeff Gill, and all faculty the political science
faculty at the University of California, Davis.  Additional
information can be found at the conference website, which will be
continually updated between now and the conference,
