APSA is excited to announce the return of the Emerging Scholars Symposium and Lightning Rounds on Saturday, September 17, at the 2022 Annual Meeting. The Emerging Scholars Symposium kicks off with Lightning Rounds, which are similar to PechaKucha, and will have coffee available for all participants. The day concludes with the Graduate Student Happy Hour.
Each scholar will have five minutes to present, followed by five minutes of feedback or Q&A. This format provides a structured framework, giving presenters not only an opportunity to share their research at the world’s largest political science meeting, but also an opportunity to develop and enhance research communication skills through a concise presentation. Coffee will be available throughout the day for participants.
Many thanks to Cambridge University Press, for sponsoring the Emerging Scholars Symposium, and to Pi Sigma Alpha, for sponsoring the attendance of the the undergraduate students.
