During the 2024 APSA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA on Wednesday, September 4, a workshop on Comparative & Multi-Method Approaches within Political Economy Research will be held. Co-leaders will guide early career researchers in exploring the use of multiple methods to study political economies on a global scale. Participants are encouraged to apply by the deadline of Sunday, May 19, 2024.
The goal of the workshop is to help researchers enhance their understanding of key political economy questions by incorporating various methodological approaches. By triangulating different methods, scholars can develop more detailed and nuanced analyses of democratic policy, economic policy, unionization, and social policy within and across different countries. Participants are expected to use at least two methodologies in their research, though individual chapters may focus on a single method as part of a broader dissertation context.
APSA hosts both in-person and virtual dissertation workshops each year. In-person workshops take place the Wednesday before the Annual Meeting and offer an opportunity for six PhD candidates to present their dissertation chapters to faculty members who lead discussions and provide feedback. Virtual workshops span three weeks during the summer and offer a similar platform for sharing and receiving input on research projects related to political economy.
The Comparative & Multi-Method Approaches within Political Economy Research workshop is an excellent opportunity for early career researchers to gain valuable insights into how to incorporate multiple methods into their research projects. By attending this workshop, participants will learn how to use these approaches effectively to study political economies across different countries and regions. They will also have the chance to interact with experienced scholars who can provide guidance and feedback on their work.
Overall, this workshop is an excellent opportunity for early career researchers working in political economy field to enhance their understanding of key questions by incorporating various methodological approaches. The deadline for application is Sunday May 19th 2024 so it’s important that interested applicants apply before that date
