SPSA 2026 Call for Proposals

The Southern Political Science Association is requesting academic paper and panel proposals for its 97th Annual Meeting taking place in New Orleans, LA, January 14-17, 2026.

The SPSA is excited to invite scholars from across the U.S. and around the world to participate in our Annual Meeting. The meeting will provide a forum for sharing ideas, research results, and professional insights in a collegial setting.

You can submit your proposals using this year’s SPSA All Academic website:

Even if you presented at a previous conference, you will need to create a new username and password for this year’s system.

Proposals are due September 1.  Please contact the SPSA at info@spsa.net if you have any questions.

 

Volunteer for Discussant/Chair Roles

The SPSA relies on the expertise of our members to put on a successful conference every year. Attendees who are interested in serving as a panel chair or discussant should email spsa.conference@spsa.net to volunteer, including a description of their areas of expertise so we can match them to an appropriate panel.
