Political Studies Association Annual Coerence

Challenges for Democracy in a Global Era
7 - 9 April 2009
The Manchester Conference Centre

The Media and Politics Group Panels
Deadline: Friday 19th September 2008

The Political Studies Association Annual Conference for 2009 is to be held
at the Manchester Conference Centre. The Association's Media and Politics
Group (the MPG) will again be providing its own stream of panels, and we
invite proposals. Papers dealing with any aspect of media and politics will
be considered, although priority may be given to those that relate to the
conference theme of "Challenges for Democracy in a Global Era".

This is the 59th PSA Annual Conference. The PSA is the UK's leading
association in the study and research of politics and the second largest in
the world. The Media and Politics Group is one of its largest specialist groups.

Proposals should include the following: title and name, institutional
affiliation and address, and preferred email address; together with, a paper
title and abstract of not more than 200 words; and, whether or not you are a
postgraduate student.

Proposals should be sent on or before Friday 19th September 2008 to MPG
co-convenor Michael Higgins [log in to unmask]
<mailto:[log in to unmask]> . Please note that this is an earlier
deadline than for non-MPG submissions and that late abstracts will not be
accepted.

In common with previous years, abstracts submitted for the MPG stream will
be subject to two levels of peer review. In addition, the PSA have a policy
of limiting panels to one postgraduate student.

With good wishes
