Western Political Science

Association (WPSA)

Not Too Late to Participate in the 2022

Meeting in San Francisco

Even though the deadline for paper proposals has

passed, there are still ways to participate actively in the

Western Political Science Association’s annual

meetinginSanFranciscoinApril.Anycommittees,

caucuses, subject-matter sections, or other groups

wishing to schedule sessions or workshops during the

WPSA conference and who have not already done so

should contact WPSA Conference and Membership

Coordinator, Julio Castilleja, as soon as possible at

info@wpsanet.org.

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

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

still be able to accommodate your group by coordinating a

mini-conference within our conference. The association

does not charge for providing the space and support for

these mini-conferences, though the attendees are required

to register for the WPSA meeting. There is also the op-

portunity to host receptions, business meetings, and

special events at the annual conference. Finally, some

section chairs are likely to be looking for individuals

wanting to serve as discussants and panel chairs. Just write

them if you are interested; their contact information is

available on the association’s website.

The 2023 meeting of the Western Political Science

Association 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. Marcela Garcia-Castanon, San Francisco State

University (SFSU), is chairing the Local Arrangements

Committee. Anthony Pahnke, SFSU, is also serving on

the committee. Information regarding the conference, its

theme, and the list of section chairs are available on the

WPSAwebsite: 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.

Pre-registration and hotel information is available now

on the WPSAwebsit e. It is possible to pre-register and pay

by credit card at this site: http://wpsanet.org.

Support the WPSA 75th Anniversary

Fundraising Campaign

As part of the WPSA’s 75th Anniversary, the Association

launched a $100,000 fund-raising campaign to create a

travel endowment, which will provide much-needed

support to help graduate students and faculty attend the

annual meeting. The Association is continuing the cam-

paign until the 2023 conference. If you have not con-

tributed yet, please do so. Every year, the WPSA off‌ices

get request from graduate students and faculty who do not

have the funding to attend the annual meeting. This will

enable us to provide some support. Even small contri-

butions are appreciated! As of now, the Association has

raised $27,000. We are on our way, but need more of you

to help!

Donations to the Association can be made on a one-

time only basis or spread out over multiple months or

years. The WPSA is a 501(c)3 not-for-prof‌it organization;

as such, your contributions are fully tax-deductible, as

permitted by law. To make a donation, please visit the

WPSA website at: https://www.wpsanet.org/about/
