We would like to invite panel and paper proposals for the 2008 Elections, Public Opinion and Parties (EPOP) conference to be held at the University of Manchester. As at any EPOP conference, we are interested in quality research on any aspect of elections, public opinion or parties, and we have no methodological biases or prejudices above the wish to see rigorous research, properly presented. We particularly welcome panels and papers with a comparative theme or international dimension.
If you are proposing a panel please fill in the panel proposal form and submit it as an email attachment to the conference academic convenor David Cutts - David.Cutts@manchester.ac.uk. Please note that all panels should have a minimum of three papers and a maximum of four. All panel proposals forms must be completed in full, including an abstract for each paper.
If you are proposing a paper please submit an abstract of no more than 150 words in an email attachment to the conference academic convenor David Cutts - David.Cutts@manchester.ac.uk.
The deadline for all panel and paper proposals is 2nd May 2008
The 2008 EPOP Conference will be held at the Manchester Conference Centre. This venue has accommodation for 80 delegates, so book early to avoid disappointment. We will range alternative accommodation near the Conference centre once the number of delegates exceeds this figure.
