The Political Science Graduate Working Group (GWG) is issuing a call for paper submissions for the Spring 2018 semester. We welcome projects from all four political science sub-fields (International Relations, Comparative Politics, American Government, and Political Theory) that could benefit from peer feedback. Projects that cross sub-fields are also welcome.

If interested, please email the following information to Rabea Kirmani (rhk37@georgetown.edu) and Andy Marshall (am3108@georgetown.edu) by Friday, January 19th, 2018:

1. Paper/Talk Title
2. Name(s) of Author(s)
3. 200-word abstract
4. Paper purpose and status (e.g., conference presentation)
5. Preferred discussant (if known; we are happy to select a discussant for you if desired)
6. Preferred week of presentation – GWG will most likely take place on Thursday afternoons (12:30 to 2:00 p.m.) during the spring semester, though we are still finalizing the schedule.
7. Format: traditional paper presentation or part of a multi-project brainstorming session
8. Do you want your session to be open to faculty participation?

PhD Students! You’re invited to the annual GPSA PhD Thanksgiving Potluck, which will be happening this Saturday, November 18th, starting at 4pm.

This year, Stephan Pikner and his family have kindly agreed to be our wonderful hosts! We have had really fantastic turnout and a great time in years past – and we hope that many of you will be able to make it and partake in the festivities! There will be great company and great food, and we will be bringing out all the GPSA board games as well!

If you plan to attend, please sign-up to contribute to the feast by clicking on the hyperlink to this sign-up spreadsheet. Those of you who are in need of a ride to the Potluck or are willing and able to drive others, please indicate that in the designated columns in the spreadsheet as well.

The 2017-2018 GPSA Board is excited to launch the first ever official GPSA website! Two of our primary goals this year are to make GPSA an organization that is more relevant to all of our student members and to improve the organization’s brand on campus! We see this website as a step toward achieving both goals. Looking forward, we sincerely hope that this site will develop into an invaluable tool that students can consult for the latest information about GPSA and Government Department events, as well as to obtain useful resources that will help them advance through their graduate studies.
