6th Annual Political Science Graduate Students’ Association Conference
April 26 2024
A602 Loeb Building, Carleton University
CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline for abstracts: April 10 2024
Crises and Canada: Looking for Solutions in a Troubled World
The international community has been rocked by a series of crises in the past few years: the war in Ukraine, conflict in Israel and Palestine, economic stagnation after COVID, lessening of international aid and increases in climate-related challenges, all the while losing faith in international institutions and their ability to improve the global situation, such as the SDG’s and international forums for peace and order. Canada is embroiled in the middle of these developments as a nation with strong normative international commitments potentially undermined by domestic challenges and division. This conference is an opportunity to both interrogate the challenges that have recently emerged as well as to think about solutions to some of these global as well as domestic issues. Inviting theoretical, empirical, and methodological contributions, the conference team invites any submissions revolving around the concerns within Canada as well as its role in the international sphere.
The Political Science Graduate Students’ Association (PSGSA) at Carleton University, in collaboration with the Department of Political Science, invites graduate students (MAs and PhDs) to submit abstract proposals of no more than 250 words for the 6th Annual PSGSA Conference: Crises and Canada: Looking for Solutions in a Troubled World that respond to these concerns from a range of perspectives and fields, including International Relations, Comparative Politics, Critical Race and Gender Studies, Political Theory, and Canadian Politics as well as related disciplines.
