We are happy to announce the call for submissions for the Summer 2024 Research Colloquium organized by the Turkish Politics Specialist Group of the Political Studies Association (PSA). This colloquium aims to bring together postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers, early-career, and senior academics who study various aspects of Turkish politics.
The colloquium will be conducted virtually in early June 2024 in accordance with Turkish time. It will offer scholars an opportunity to receive feedback on their works in progress and develop their knowledge of different theoretical and methodological approaches to studying Turkish politics.
The colloquium is structured to accommodate four paper presentations. During the initial 20 minutes of the session, each speaker will deliver their working paper. Subsequently, a minimum of one discussant will provide their insights on the draft paper for 20 minutes. To conclude, the final 20 minutes will be dedicated to an extensive Q&A session with the virtual audience.
All participants are required to thoroughly review all papers before the event and be ready to offer constructive feedback in a supportive environment on the respective works. To facilitate this, we kindly request that speakers submit their draft papers at least two weeks ahead of the colloquium. This will grant ample time for both the discussants and the audience to critically assess the drafts.
Applicants should send the abstracts of their draft papers to turkishpoliticspsa@gmail.com (Subject: ResColloq Summer 2024) by March 15th, 2024.
We will notify the successful applicants by March 31st, 2024. We will prepare the line-up once the successful applicants are determined.
We very much look forward to receiving your applications!
