The 2017 New Research in Gender and Political Psychology Conference will be held at Tulane University (New Orleans, LA) on October 22-24, 2017! The conference will focus on three broad themes related to gender and political psychology: Gendered Political Socialization, Women as Political Candidates and Elected Officials, and Intersectionality. This conference follows up on previous conferences at Rutgers University in 2011 and at the College of Wooster in 2014.
The conference will provide intentional mentoring in research, teaching and service for assistant professors and associate professors, particularly women, studying gender and political psychology.

The deadline for applying is May 15, 2017.
