Here’s the communication:<\/p>\n

The safety of the American Political Science Association (APSA) community is our top priority. In light of the current situation surrounding COVID-19, we will deliver our\u00a0116th American Political Science Association\u2019s Annual Meeting & Exhibition<\/a>, scheduled for September 10-13, 2020 in San Francisco, as a virtual digital event.\u00a0 We very much look forward to bringing together the APSA community to learn and connect in this new virtual format.<\/p>\n

The APSA Annual Meeting helps create a vibrant and sustainable community for attendees and the discipline. We recognize the essential role of the annual meeting is more important than ever, and the need to bring our scholarly community together, share the latest research and scholarship, provide opportunities for scholars to learn about the job market, and be able to network with colleagues in their areas of expertise.<\/p>\n

Importantly, the virtual event will occur the same week as originally scheduled.<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0The days and times will be confirmed later, but we will be using the current program time zone of Pacific time. We plan to keep most, if not all, of the program content, depending upon an individual\u2019s ability to participate.\u00a0 \u00a0There will be virtual rooms for section business meetings, related group meetings, editorial board meetings, and committee meetings.<\/p>\n

We will be asking everyone to reconfirm their participation in the program. We ask that participants, especially those in volunteer roles, think carefully about their time commitments to ensure they can provide quality feedback and a robust discussion in these important roles. As such, we will be opening another call for volunteer roles (chairs and discussants) shortly.<\/p>\n

Further, at the request of the program chairs, there will be two additional calls for proposals based on current events:<\/p>\n
