Virtual Workshop for Historical Political Economy<\/strong>

Western Political Science Association Virtual Community<\/strong>
WPSA Virtual Communities bring academics together on Zoom or other virtual platforms for scholarly, pedagogical, and\/or professional development in political science and related fields. Virtual Communities (VCs) are organized around a variety of academic specializations or themes. Each community meets approximately once a month in formats that may include panels, colloquia, workshops, reading or writing groups, pedagogy discussions, mentoring opportunities, peer support groups, social\/networking events, and more, depending on the interests of its co-chairs and participants. Currently, 25 co-chairs are collaborating to organize 10 independent Virtual Communities.

POCAlsoKnowStuff<\/strong>
POCAlsoKnowStuff\u2019s goal is to foster cross-institutional collaboration and networking across subfields and rankings, especially for graduate students and early-career scholars. They do this through promoting scholarship, celebrating professional wins, and serving as a resource for mentoring efforts in the discipline to resolve issues that arise from the underrepresentation of people of color in Political Science. They serve as an interlocutor for those seeking to contact POC Experts, to learn about issues facing people of color in the discipline, and to advocate as allies for people of color in the discipline. In doing so, their aim is to create space for meaningful dialogues that foster a healthy community of POC Experts in Political Science.

Authoritarian Political Systems Group<\/strong>
The Authoritarian Political Systems Group (APSG) is an online seminar series for researchers studying issues of authoritarian politics.

Our bi-weekly seminar will provide an opportunity to receive feedback on their work in progress. We welcome presentations by scholars in comparative politics, international relations, and political theory, as well as with different methodological approaches (e.g., qualitative, quantitative, formal modeling, etc.). We particularly encourage submissions from traditionally underrepresented groups, including women and minorities, as well as early-career scholars (e.g., graduate students, post-docs, and junior faculty).
