Dear Colleagues,
The Thirteenth Annual Political Networks (“PolNet”) Conference and
Workshops will be held May 28th-30th 2020 at the University of
Massachusetts Amherst. The Program Chairs and Host Committee are pleased
to invite proposal submissions.
We seek proposals for individual papers, posters, or organized panels
that engage in rigorous theoretical and/or empirical research on the
application of networks to politics and policy. We also welcome
contributions that develop novel methodological approaches to the
analysis of political networks. We aim to have a conference that
represents research from a broad range of subfields and methodologies,
and submissions are encouraged from scholars in political science or
related disciplines including sociology, communications, psychology,
public policy, and computer science. Methodological approaches may
include, but are not limited to, statistical studies, laboratory and
field experiments, ethnography, formal models, and computer simulations.
Topics presented at past conferences include investigations of
individual political behavior; interactions of individuals with
traditional and online media; activist participation in interest groups,
social movements, and political parties; interest group and corporate
relationships with government agencies and officials; relationships
within and among local, state, and federal government agencies;
legislator communications and alliance formation; the political
implications of international trade flows; ethnic cooperation and
conflict; international alliances, organizations, and conflict; and a
wide range of other political topics. The PolNet conference has played a
key role in stimulating research and developing our field, increasing
the role of network data and concepts in the study of politics and policy.
To submit an individual paper or poster proposal, or to submit an
organized panel, please use this link:
