Maximizing Dissertation Impact: APSA’s 2024 Annual Meeting Offers Unique Workshops for Early Career Researchers

Get ready for a unique learning experience at the 2024 APSA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA on Wednesday, September 4. Join us for a Comparative & Multi-Method Approaches workshop that will help early career researchers explore the application of mixed methods to political economy questions.

In this workshop, participants will gain valuable insights into how to use multiple methodologies to investigate key political economy issues such as redistribution, democratization, economic policy, unionization, and social policy. The goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of variation in democratic policy and politics across different countries.

If you are using two or more research methods in your thesis, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity. While individual chapters may focus on a single method, participants should be prepared to discuss how their work fits into their broader dissertation. Research on any area within political economy and any geographic focus is welcome.

This workshop is just one of many in-person and virtual dissertation workshops sponsored by APSA each year. In-person events take place the Wednesday before the Annual Meeting, while virtual workshops occur over a three-week period in the summer. Each workshop includes presentations from six PhD candidates and is led by two faculty members who facilitate discussions. Apply by May 19, 2024, to participate in this valuable research opportunity.

Don’t miss out on this chance to enhance your skills and gain new perspectives on political economy research!
