Workshop Description: We invite any and all graduate students studying European politics to submit proposals. Mareike Kleine has special expertise in EU politics, international political economy, and international organizations. Lukas Obholzer has special expertise in political behavior, legislative politics, social media, and comparative politics. However, we are open to any and all submissions that engage European politics and that would benefit from feedback. All methods are welcome to this virtual workshop. A summary of the schedule is as follows:

    • Week 1 (June 12-June 16): Group presentations and one-on-one sessions with faculty co-leaders. Please note: chapters will be due on June 1 for leaders and participants to review before the workshop
    • Week 2 (June 19-June 23): Independent writing & revising week.
    • Week 3 (June 26-June 30): Group presentations, feedback, and debrief session, with optional one-on-one sessions with faculty co-leaders.
    • Please note: Weeks 1 & 3 will include approximately 8-10 hours of meeting time, while the exact days of the week and times will be determined once the participants have been selected to best accommodate the time zones represented.

APSA sponsors in person & virtual dissertation workshops annually. Our in-person events are held the Wednesday prior to the APSA Annual Meeting. Each full-day workshop includes six PhD candidates who present a dissertation chapter, along with two faculty members who lead the workshop and moderate discussions. Our virtual workshops are held over a three-week period during the summer.
