The 2016 Election has surprised politicians, political scholars, and political pundits. This two-day conference brings together political scholars and political professionals to help us to puzzle through and make sense of this potentially disrupting presidential election. Our conference will feature plenary speakers as well as competitively selected papers. We call for 500 word (or less) paper proposals on any aspect of the 2016 election, from any methodological perspective. We are especially interested in papers from undergraduate and graduate students. Please submit your 500 word proposal to Dr. Jennifer Mercieca (mercieca@tamu.edu) no later than September 1, 2016.
We are thrilled to announce our academic plenary speakers:
Dr. Julia Azari: The Mischiefs of Factions and author of Delivering the People’s Message: The Changing Politics of the Presidential Mandate. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2014.
Dr. Daniel Kreiss: author of Taking Our Country Back: The Crafting of Networked Politics from Howard Dean to Barack Obama, (Oxford University Press, 2012) and Prototype Politics: Technology-Intensive Campaigning and the Data of Democracy (Oxford University Press, 2016).
