Society for Romanian Studies, Call for Proposals
The 2015 American Political Science Association (APSA) Annual Meeting will take
place September 3 – 6 in San Francisco. The conference theme is Diversities
Reconsidered: Politics, and Political Science, in the 21st Century (for more information,
see http://community.apsanet.org/annualmeeting/home).
The Related Group Society for Romanian Studies invites paper proposals for the 2015
annual meeting. We are particularly interested in proposals that use Romania in
comparative perspective or as a single case study and that are related to the conference
theme.
In line with the theme statement, we have a diverse interpretation of diversities. We are
looking for papers that address diversity (1) in substantive terms, focusing on how
population heterogeneity (demographic, attitudinal, or behavioral) on the political arena
is dealt with in Romania; (2) in terms of the subject of interest for those who do
political science in or on Romania, focusing on what is studied and what is not studied
within the discipline and geographic bounds; and (3) in methodological terms, focusing
on how political science is conducted in Romania.
All proposals will be processed directly through the APSA website. The deadline for
submitting a proposal is December 15th, 2014. The recommended length for the
proposals is 500 words. Please go tohttp://www.apsanet.org/login.asp to create your
APSA account and submit your proposal. Please send a copy of your proposal to
Claudiu Tufiș as well (mailto:claudiu.tufis@fspub.unibuc.ro). The same e-mail address
can be used for any questions you might have about this call. Do not hesitate to circulate
this call to anyone you think might be interested.
