Let’s make next year’s EPSS Political Representation section a space for rigorous scholarship, vibrant exchange, and new collaborations!

📅 EPSS 2026 submission deadline: November 7, 2025
📎 Submit here: epssnet.org/belfast-2026...

/end

When evaluating complete panel proposals, we will look for panels that are cohesive and bring together diverse groups of scholars. We aim not to break up panels, but may do so to achieve thematic coherence across the section.

You may submit either individual papers or full panels, author-meets-critics sessions, or topical roundtables. See epssnet.org/conferences/... for details.

We welcome work that addresses representation, legislative politics, or electoral institutions, especially research that advances our theoretical understanding and offers compelling empirical evidence. We are also interested in work with a focus on the representation of marginalized groups.

📢 EPSS 2026 Call for Papers! @hannaeback.bsky.social and I are excited to invite submissions for the Political Representation section at EPSS 2026 in Belfast. EPSS has some exciting new panel formats this year - read on! 🧵

Do men see gender parity in representation as detrimental to their interests? What about when women’s representation exceeds parity? And how do such shifts affect men’s fairness perceptions? I address these questions in my article, now published in PRQ. 1/9
