Ethnic Politics Workshop

Call for Proposals

The Ethnic Politics Workshop will be held during October 15-16, 2010, at The George Washington University (GW). The conveners seek to  promote new
approaches to the study of ethnic politics in the social sciences by
bringing together a small interdisciplinary group of social scientists to
exchange ideas, brainstorm, and provide constructive criticism of each
other’s works in progress. We envision the possibility of future meetings
and hope that joint projects may result from the workshop. We seek social
scientists (Ph.D. candidates near completion and beyond) whose work: (a)
demonstrates substantial theoretical innovation grounded in empirical
research; (b) has ethnicity as a central focus (or “dependent variable”),
not simply as one factor among many; (c) has the potential to lead to
generalizable and falsifiable arguments; and (d) reflects (potential for) a
long-term research program rather than a one-off project. 

Interested researchers should submit a CV and a one-page description of the research project idea they would like to present at the workshop, explaining how it fits into their longer-term research program. These should be sent to

caitlin@gwu.edu 

by August 15, 2010. 

Applicants will be notified of decisions by early September. Transportation and accommodation costs will be covered by the organizers. The meeting is funded by a grant from the Dean of GW’s Elliott School of International Affairs.
