APSA Annual Meeting 2007 “Political Science and Beyond,” Chicago

Extract

APSA is excited to once again return to Chicago for the 103^rd Annual Meeting, which will be held from August 30–September 2, 2007. There is no place more fitting than the Windy City, home of the ground-breaking social science innovation of the various Chicago Schools of the mid-twentieth century, to celebrate the diversity of the political science profession and this year's program theme, “Political Science and Beyond.” The program committee, chaired by Elisabeth R. Gerber (University of Michigan) and David A. Lake (University of California, San Diego) has put together an impressive program, consisting of over 800 panels in 46 Thematic Divisions. Panels and plenary sessions will focus on the idea of interdisciplinarity and will feature discussions and presentations from some of the most respected social scientists of our time. In addition, the program chairs have put together several theme panels which will address topics directly related to the meeting's theme, as well as current issues and hot topics in today's society.
