APSA Related Group Calls and Chair Contact Information

Professional groups engaged in the study of political science, and unaffiliated with APSA, are invited and encouraged to participate in Annual Meetings as "related groups." The purpose for including these groups in the meeting is to promote teaching and research in political science or the professional development of political scientists. Related groups are most valuable to APSA as they add diversity and offer a broad spectrum of civic and political issues. 

Related groups also sponsor panels and roundtables at the Annual Meeting. Submissions to the related groups follow the same deadlines as the divisions and use the same online submission system. The APSA Related Groups Call for Papers closing date is December 15, 2009.
