SPSA 2027 Deadline Extended to 9/15
The Southern Political Science Association is requesting academic paper and panel proposals for its 98th Annual Meeting taking place in St. Pete Beach, FL, January 13-16, 2027.
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:
https://convention2.
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.
Submit Proposals for Conferences within a Conference (CwC)
Every year the SPSA hosts a number of Conference Within a Conference meetings that take place during the January Annual Meeting. CwCs are an opportunity to discuss a shared research agenda, create a beginning or mid-point meeting to advance work for an edited volume, or to highlight interesting developments in a field of study. 2026’s SPSA meeting included CWCs on “Election Administration,” “Courts in Context,” “Generative Language Models in Political Science Research,” and “Ancient and Modern: Theory and Practice,” among other topics. CwCs are submitted directly to spsa.conference@spsa.net rather than through the AllAcademic system, so please reach out if you are interested in organizing one.
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
