The Political Methodology division welcomes paper, panel, and roundtable proposals addressing all aspects of empirical methodology.  Proposals that emphasize new techniques for causal inference, particularly ones developed for political data, are strongly encouraged. Proposals exploring methodological issues related to this year’s general theme, “Categories and the Politics of Global Inequalities,” will be given special consideration.
