APSA Virtual Meeting Call for Proposals: Religion and Democracy

The Religion and Politics Section of APSA is pleased to announce a Research Group Workshop entitled, “Religion and Democracy: New Research Frontiers,” which will meet during the 2024 APSA Virtual Meeting, February 8-9. Workshop Leaders David Buckley, Günes Tezcür and Paul Djupe welcome applications from across subfields of the discipline from scholars with active research projects related to the theme. We particularly welcome proposals from scholars who, for various reasons, may find it challenging to participate in the APSA Annual Meeting in person. Workshop leaders intend these panels as a first step towards future scholarly engagement and research outputs.

A full description of this particular Research Group Workshop, as well as APSA’s plans for the Virtual Meeting format, can be found at: https://connect.apsanet.org/virtual-research-meeting/research-workshops/.

Applications must be submitted by Thursday, October 19, 2023 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. Those interested in applying should submit a Statement of Interest through the APSA portal in which they summarize their proposed research presentation and how it relates to the themes set out in the Workshop’s description. Any with questions on the substance of the workshop can contact the Workshop Leaders by email.
