NEPSA 2026: APRIL 23-25
BURLINGTON, VERMONT
NEPSA 2026 ANNUAL MEETING - CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPANTS
​
The New England Political Science Association invites proposals for papers, panels, and roundtables to be presented at its 2026 Annual Meeting, which will convene April 23-25 at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Burlington, VT. Panels will be offered on Friday, April 24, and Saturday, April 25; a pre-conference welcome event will be held on the evening of Thursday, April 23.
​
In NEPSA’s 78th year, we are pleased to finally return to Vermont for the first time since the 2014 conference. We welcome a broad array of panel and paper proposals reflecting the various subfields of our discipline. NEPSA has the following dedicated sections:
Public Law
Public Policy
Race, Gender, and Intersectionality
Technology and Politics
American Politics
Comparative and Canadian Politics
International Relations
Political Theory
Politics and History
Proposals from undergraduates will once again be considered for presentation. Undergraduate proposals will be evaluated on a competitive basis by a special Undergraduate Proposals Committee. Accepted proposals will present on panels dedicated to undergraduate research; presenters must be accompanied at the conference by a sponsoring faculty member.
Proposals for individual papers, full panels, and roundtables – as well as offers to serve as panel chairs and/or discussants – may also be submitted through the appropriate entries in the “2026 CONFERENCE” drop-down menu above. Except in special situations, individuals are restricted to two paper proposals.
​
The deadline for submissions to the 2026 Annual Meeting is FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2025.
