We are pleased to announce that the 28th Annual Meeting of the GPPSA will be held at University of Missouri - Kansas City on March 20-21, 2026.

​​

Our conference welcomes presentations and participation from all areas of political science and related disciplines from collegiate, post-collegiate, and professional scholarship. Paper proposals for those interested in presenting are due by February 6th, 2026. Please see the proposal submission link for more information on submitting an abstract. 

​

Friday will include research panels and the annual business meeting. It is geared towards individuals wishing to engage with new scholarly work on politics.

​

GPPSA extends a special invitation to graduate and undergraduate students. The conference is small, friendly, inexpensive, and attracts generalists--it's a great forum for feedback on research posters, prospectuses, grant proposals, theses, etc. We offer discounted registration and prize categories for graduate and undergraduate students. 

 

Saturday will feature a series of workshops focused on the teaching of political science. All conference attendees are welcome to join, but we also offer a registration option for those interested solely in the Saturday pedagogy workshops.

​

Registration for the conference is also handled on this site - see the registration page for more information. Membership fees for the association are included in your conference registration. We offer a rate schedule based on academic status (faculty, graduate or undergraduate student, professional).
