The 5th Annual Graduate Conference in
Political Science, International Relations and Public Policy in
memory of Yitzhak Rabin
The 5th Annual Conference of Graduate Students in the fields of
political science, international relations and public policy will
convene in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on Thursday, December
9-10th, 2009. Students of political phenomena who work in related
fields are also welcomed to present their work in the conference
(e.g. Political and Law, Political History, Political Economy,
Political geography, political philosophy, political psychology, and
political communication).
The conference has two tracks:
Panels: This track holds panels on selected themes. Three papers will
be presented in each panel, and participants will not be required to
submit a paper in advance. A 90 minute slot will be assigned for each
panel. Panel chairs and respondents will be senior faculty
members. Consideration for inclusion in this competitive track
requires the submission of an extended abstract (approximately 300 words).
Research workshop: This track holds thematic one-day or two-day
research workshops. Participation in most workshops will be
restricted to paper presenters (preferably doctoral students) and
discussants (senior faculty members). A 60-90 minute slot will be
assigned for presentation/discussion of each paper. Consideration for
inclusion in this highly competitive track requires the submission of
an extended abstract (approximately 500 words). Depending on the
number of successful applicants, workshops may be extended to two days.
Proposals for both tracks should be sent to
