Dear Scandinavian Politics Specialist Group Subscriber,
A date for your diary:
Political Studies Association - 61st Annual Conference
Transforming Politics: New Synergies
19-21 April 2011, London
Graduate Conference & Workshops 18 April 2011
We, the Scandinavian Politics Specialist Group, are planning to put proposals in for panel as well as a workshop at the conference. We ask that you by return email show your interest in participating in a panel and/or a workshop on Scandinavian politics. Please include a title of your proposed paper as this will provide us with an indication of subject areas and enable us to group research papers with similar ‘topics’.
Best summer wishes,
Malin & Lee

PSA 'EXCHANGER' SCHEME HONG KONG
There is an opportunity for one or two PSA members to present their work at the annual conference of the Hong Kong PSA this year. The meeting is 26-27 August 2010 at Hong Kong Baptist University in Kowloon Tong. Those chosen receive free registration (as do those PSA members attending but not on the 'exchanger' basis), hotel accommodation nearby and some local hospitality, as a well as a guaranteed place on the programme. PSA UK has a special grant scheme to support co-funded applications covering airfare. Anyone interested should email a paper title, brief abstract, and one-page CV to Professor Terrell Carver, PSA's International Relations Sub-committee Chair (tfcarver @ earthlink.net) as soon as possible. PSA News records the experiences of last year's 'exchanger' Dibyesh Anand in vol. 20, no. 4, p. 23, available on-line at htttp://www.psa.ac.uk.

PERSONAL WEBPAGE ON THE PSA WEBSITE
Dear PSA member,
As part of the Association’s 60th Anniversary activities, we have extended the Members’ Area on our main web site to include a facility for all members to create and maintain their own personal web page. The key features of the launch version of this facility are:
- Each page has a “latest news” section which feeds automatically into the new Members’ News panel on the Members’ Area home page.
- In addition there are sections for your curriculum vitae and for publications.
- All entries are searchable in the site search available to members, but not in the open access version.
- Access is restricted to Association members only. In the first instance, none of the facilities is available on open access. Later in the year this policy will be reviewed and members will be consulted on the option to change this restriction, as well as adding further faculties.
There is an introductory page and guide to users here. If you have queries, problems, or suggestions, please let me know by email using webmaster @ psa.ac.uk (Please do NOT reply to the List Server email at members @ psa.ac.uk. This will not reach me.)
With best wishes
Richard Topf
(Electronic Publications Editor)
