The Australian Political Studies Association’s (APSA) Annual Conference 2021: Politics in the Age of Uncertainty

The Organising Committee in consultation with the Australian Political Studies Association (APSA) announces the second and final Call for Papers for the 2021 APSA Conference. Due to on-going travel restrictions regarding COVID-19, a decision has been made to hold the conference in virtual format via Zoom. 

In recognition of the increased uncertainties regarding jobs in the higher education sector, we have revised the fees to encourage participation from ‘unwaged’ researchers, as well as Early Career Researchers and postgraduate students. 

All abstracts must follow the instructions and format listed on the conference website and be submitted to apsa2021@mq.edu.au by Monday 3 May 2021, 11:59pm AEST. 

Notification of Outcome of Abstract Submission
Authors who have submitted an individual abstract or a panel/roundtable proposal will be notified of whether their abstract has been accepted or declined by 4 June 2021. Conference registrations will also open on 4 June 2021. 

After authors have been notified of the outcome of their submissions, authors will have until 10 July 2021 to register and pay at early bird rates. From 11 July 2021, standard registration rates apply. Registration fees are on the conference website.  

Cancellations with refunds will be made available until 20 July 2021, after which time there will be no refunds of the conference fees.

All other enquiries regarding the APSA Annual Conference 2021 should be emailed to the Conference Secretary, Ms Kelli-Lee Drake at apsa2021@mq.edu.au.
