January 6-8, 2011
Hotel InterContinental
New Orleans, Louisiana
The Southern Political Science Association is pleased to announce
4 NEW SECTIONS!!!!
1. Call for Proposals, Undergraduate Student Research and Training, SPSA:
The SPSA is excited to announce the creation of a section to highlight high-quality undergraduate research. Research by current undergraduates or recent graduates who wish to present their undergraduate research will be considered for several panels at the 2011 SPSA meeting. Proposals are welcome from all the subfields of political science. Undergraduate research projects that focus on American political institutions, political behavior, public administration, public policy, political theory, comparative politics or international relations will be considered. Faculty are also invited to submit a proposal to serve as a discussant or chair on an undergraduate research panel. Furthermore, we hope to organize a panel of faculty on “mentoring undergraduate research.” Faculty interested in participating in such a panel should consider submitting a proposal. Please feel free to contact James LaPlant (

), section chair of Undergraduate Student Research and Training, if you have any questions about submitting a proposal.
2. Call for Proposals, Politics and History:
The section on politics and history invites proposals for papers and panels that sit at the intersection of political science and history. Possible topics include political history, the historical development of public policies, or the origin and evolution of institutions. Papers and panels that explore state and local or regional politics are especially welcome, as are proposals that examine countries other than the United States or examine the US in a comparative perspective. For additional information, please contact Adam Sheingate at

3. Call for Proposals, Graduate Student Research and Career Development:
The Graduate Student Research & Career Development Section of SPSA is designed specifically for graduate student research and participation. We invite graduate students to submit proposals that address any area of substantive research within any subfield of political science. Proposals that focus on issues of career or professional development are also welcome. The purpose of the section is to generate greater interaction between graduate students from departments across the South and provide students with an opportunity to network with future colleagues. In addition to inviting a variety of distinguished scholars to serve as discussants on the panels, the section will host two feature roundtables, graduate student breakfasts, an evening reception, and a preparation/meeting room specifically for grad students. We invite all grad students to submit proposals to the section and volunteer to chair one of the panels. Please contact one of the section co-chairs, Josh Huder (

4. Call for Proposals, Political Networks
.
The Political Networks Section of SPSA invites proposals that aim to explain the role of relationships between actors, agencies, and institutions in all aspects of politics. We are particularly interested in research that challenges fundamental assertions about independence in order to gain new insight on political processes and behavior. We are open to work that explores old substantive questions through the lens of political networks, as well as development of cutting edge methods and topics based on the concepts of interdependence. Substantive areas of interest include, but are not restricted to, the study of economic and political relationships between nations, policy implementation networks, the impact of political organizations at home and abroad, and the consequences of social discussion on political choices. Proposals that focus on the unique contribution of political science to network analysis, and vice versa, are also welcome. Please contact Suzanne Robbins,
