2010 Political Networks Conference
Call for Papers
The Third Annual Political Networks Conference, formerly known as the
Harvard Networks in Political Science Conference, will be held May
19-21, 2010 at Duke University. The conference calls for paper
proposals on all aspects of political networks. Submissions are
encouraged from a wide range of disciplines including, but not limited
to, political science, sociology, economics, anthropology, psychology,
business, information systems, and complex systems. Methodological
approaches may include, but are not limited to, statistical studies,
laboratory and field experiments, ethnography, formal models, and
computer simulations. Papers may report on investigations of
individual political behavior; interactions of individuals with
traditional and online media; activist participation in interest
groups, social movements, and political parties; interest group and
corporate relationships with government agencies and officials;
relationships within and among local, state, and federal government
agencies; legislator communications and alliance formation; the
political implications of international trade flows; ethnic
cooperation and conflict; international alliances and conflict; and/or
a wide range of other political topics. Please refer to the 2008 and
2009 conference programs for examples of what has been presented at
events in previous years (2008:

<http://www.hks.harvard.edu/netgov/html/colloquia_HPNC2009.htm> .)
The first day of the conference will be devoted to didactic sessions
on network methodology by Matt Jackson (Economics, Stanford) and
Carter Butts (Sociology, UC-Irvine). The second and third days will be
organized via panels organized from submissions. The conference will
also feature a keynote address by Matt Jackson and a plenary address
by James Moody (Sociology, Duke University).
Registration is open. February 22 is the extended deadline for
proposals. Decisions will be announced on or before March 15, 2010.
April 1 is the deadline for early registration.
NSF-funded fellowships are available to support approximately 40
graduate students and recent Ph. D.s to attend the conference,
including attendees from outside the United States. Priority will be
given to new attendees who plan to present at the 2010 conference.
However, attendees who would like to attend without a presentation are
eligible for funding, as are previously funded applicants.
A block of rooms at attractive rates at the Washington Duke Inn is
available (until April 18) to conference attendees.
Details, including links to registration, application for aid, and
accommodations, are available at
