The Organising Committee in consultation with the Australian Political Studies Association (APSA) announces the Second and final Call for Papers for the 2021 APSA Conference. Due to on-going travel restrictions regarding COVID-19, a decision has been made to hold the conference in virtual format via Zoom.
In recognition of the increased uncertainties regarding jobs in the higher education sector, we have revised the fees to encourage participation from ‘unwaged’ researchers, as well as Early Career Researchers and postgraduate students.
All abstracts must follow the instructions and format listed on the conference website and be submitted to apsa2021@mq.edu.au by Monday 3 May 2021, 11:59pm AEST.
