Dear Scandinavian Politics Specialist Group Subscriber,
1. 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. 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’. We have received a good response to the earlier email about the Annual Conference so this is just a reminder for those of you who have been thinking about participating but have yet to reply. We ask that you by return email show your interest in participating in a panel and/or a workshop on Scandinavian politics.
