International Association for the Study of German Politics Related Group Call for Papers

Preliminary Deadline:  November 22, 2007 
Final Deadline:  December 17, 2007

The IASGP has a reserved panel at the annual conference of the American Political Science Association (APSA).  APSA profiles itself as the most significant association of political scientists in the world and it is quite an honour to be granted a reserved panel at their annual gathering.  The 2008 jamboree will be taking place in Boston from 28th – 31st August.  More details about the conference venue and the event itself can be found at /section_222.cfm.

The IASGP’s programme committee would like to encourage members to submit possible panel proposals.  Panels should include three speakers and a contributor.  It is important that panels address ‘hard-hitting’ topics and this is something to bear in mind when submitting proposals.  Panel proposals have to be submitted to the relevant programme convenor by 17th December 2007.  We would therefore ask members to submit their ideas to IASGP Programme Committee member Jonathan Olsen by 22nd November 2007.  The IASGP Programme Committee will convene in the week following this deadline to choose a panel to represent the association at the conference.  Should you have any questions about this, please don’t hesitate to drop Jonathan a line (olsenj@uwp.edu).
