The 60th Political Studies Association Annual Conference

 

The 60th Political Studies Association Annual Conference
Sixty Years of Political Studies: Achievements and Futures
29 March - 1 April 2010
Hotel The George, Edinburgh, UK

About the Conference

The PSA is one of the world’s longest established political studies associations. Its 60th anniversary in 2010 is an opportunity to reflect on the achievements of political studies over the last 60 years, in the UK and internationally, on the issues and ideas that are now at the cutting edge of political analysis, and on the new directions we need to pursue in the future.

The 2010 PSA Annual Conference will be a unique opportunity for debate about the state of the discipline. Already the largest UK gathering of researchers in politics and international relations, in 2010 it will:

• as ever showcase research from across all aspects of political analysis
• build deeper links with politics scholars in other associations, like BISA, UACES and the Britain and Ireland Association for Political Thought
• develop stronger links with political scientists internationally, working with associations like ECPR, APSA and IPSA
• explore the opportunities and problems of engaging politics scholarship with political practice
• debate how we best teach politics in universities and schools
