When evaluating complete panel proposals, we will look for panels that are cohesive and bring together diverse groups of scholars. We aim not to break up panels, but may do so to achieve thematic coherence across the section.

You may submit either individual papers or full panels, author-meets-critics sessions, or topical roundtables. See epssnet.org/conferences/... for details.

We welcome work that addresses representation, legislative politics, or electoral institutions, especially research that advances our theoretical understanding and offers compelling empirical evidence. We are also interested in work with a focus on the representation of marginalized groups.

Do men see gender parity in representation as detrimental to their interests? What about when women’s representation exceeds parity? And how do such shifts affect men’s fairness perceptions? I address these questions in my article, now published in PRQ. 1/9

I'm hiring another postdoc (research-focused, for almost 5 years) for my @erc.europa.eu project on the educational cleavage!
I'm looking for someone with strong quantitative text-analysis skills (e.g. #NLP, #LLM, etc.) to study the role of political actors in cleavage formation.

🤔 The #EU 🇪🇺 aspires to be a global actor 🌍 — but do other states recognize it as such?

My new study in @intlinteractions.bsky.social develops targeted #NLP / #TextAsData tools to analyze 50 years of foreign policy discourse in the annual #UN General Debate (1970–2020).

Yesterday EPSS was founded, today we answer members’ questions.

A 🧵

1. Who formed EPSS?

EPSS was founded by a supermajority vote of the EPSA Council, made up of 3 EPSAL shareholders & 9 elected, appointed, or ex officio members.

🚨 Big News for European Political Science 🚨

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the European Political Science Society (EPSS): a new, member-led, not-for-profit association built to support our scholarly community.

Here’s a thread with everything you need to know.

Some more context on @epssnet.bsky.social founding and the problems with EPSA by Ken Benoit 👇. The not-for-profit model is the only solution for an academic association in the long-run... historical institutionalism will tell you why! 😅😉
