[EL] Election Sciences at the 2017 Southern Political Science Association Conference

[Abby Wood]

All,

To piggy back on this, I'm submitting a panel for this conference-in-a-conference. I have three papers so far, all on campaign finance disclosure. If you are working on disclosure or a related area, I'd love to hear from you.

Another way to participate is as a discussant. So if you would like to join the panel submission in that capacity, please get in touch. I currently have one discussant, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind sharing the work if Michael includes us.

Thanks very much,
Abby

Predictably, the SPSA has extended the proposal deadline to Sept. 13, so please consider sending me a proposal for a paper or better yet an entire panel by next week!





CONFERENCE IN THE CONFERENCE AT SPSA 2017


ELECTION SCIENCES


Democracy does not exist without free, fair, and transparent elections. In the wake of the 2000 presidential election, the media, government, public, academia and legal communities have given increasing attention to how elections are conducted in the United States. How can we be assured that voters’ intentions are properly reflected in election outcomes? How can elections be conducted with improved efficiency utilizing new technologies? What are the determinants of voter participation and vote choice? Scholars addressing these activities are coalescing into an emerging field called Election Sciences.


A goal of the Election Sciences conference-in-a-conference at the Southern Political Science Association meeting is to build a community of Election Sciences scholars by facilitating a conversation on research projects that broadly touch on the conduct of elections. Pending interest, the conference-in-a-conference is anticipated to be structured as a series of panels to be held on one day.


Scholars interested in participating should send a paper proposal with a title and an abstract of no more than 250 words to the organizer of the conference-in-a-conference: Michael McDonald (michael.mcdonald at ufl.edu<mailto:michael.mcdonald at ufl.edu>), Associate Professor at the University of Florida. Please include "SPSA" in the email header. You do not need to submit directly to the SPSA conference. The deadline for consideration is September 13, 2016.
