Western Political Science

Association (WPSA)

2023 WPSA Meeting

The 2023 meeting of the Western Political Science As-

sociation will be held at the Hyatt Regency in San

Francisco, California, from April 6 to 8. Jason Casellas,

University of Houston, is serving as program chair for this

meeting. Melissa Michelson, Menlo College, is chairing

the Local Arrangements Committee. Information re-

garding the conference, its theme, and the list of section

chairs are available on the WPSA website: www.wpsanet.

org. In addition to the main program, several workshops

are being organized for Wednesday, April 5. There will

also be several mini-conferences held during the meeting.

Information on these workshops and mini-conferences

can also be found on the website.

Proposals for the 2023 meeting are encouraged. The

deadline for submission of paper proposals/program

participation forms is 26 September 2022. The theme for

the 2023 meeting is “Unity in the Midst of Disunity: The

Role of Political Science in Democracy.”While proposals

are welcome on all topics in political science, the program

chair is encouraging proposals that enhance our under-

standing of the division which has impacted our political

discourse and the role that political scientists can play, as

individuals and as members of an association, to help f‌ind

ways to foster unity and coalescence around shared

principles. Scholars in all subf‌ields of the discipline are

welcome to submit proposals on subjects related to this

theme. Details about the conference, its theme, the call for

papers, and proposal instructions appear on the WPSA

website: www.wpsanet.org.

The WPSA annual meeting not only offers the op-

portunity for traditional research presentations and

roundtable discussions, but also a place for interested

groups to schedule special events and workshops. In

addition, if you are part of a research community that is

interested in holding a meeting in the spring, we may be

able to accommodate your group by coordinating a

conference within the WPSA annual meeting. For in-

formation about these opportunities, please contact

Richard Clucas, WPSA Executive Director, at hprc@

pdx.edu.
