PSAI Postgraduate Conference 27-28 April in TCD
The Political Studies Association of Ireland is organising a conference for postgraduate students, taking place here in TCD on Friday and Saturday next. Here’s the programme; almost all of it is parallel sessions, with papers given by current postgrad research students. The range of topics is great - everything from “Between Orange and Green? A study of immigrants’ attitudes towards politics in Northern Ireland” to “Electoral Systems and their role in democratization in Sub Saharan Africa” and much more. For the students of technology and society among you, you might enjoy Laura Sudulich’s paper on Irish political parties and ICT use or Benjamin Cook’s discussion of ‘democratization through blogging’.
There’s no conference fee, but you need to join the PSAI (€30 for students) in order to attend - and you can do this at registration (4-5pm, Arts Building (6th floor - IIIS), Trinity College).
