Graduate Students in International Political Economy Workshop (GSIPE) is a virtual, interdisciplinary, graduate-student-run workshop that connects graduate students (including pre-docs and post-docs) in Political Science and Economics with an interest in International Political Economy (IPE). For this pre-conference workshop, we seek to extend our existing virtual opportunities for junior IPE scholars by fostering in-person scholarly networks and by engaging in productive mentoring relationships to support their research.

Last year, we held the first pre-conference APSA workshop, which was our first in-person event since the foundation of the GSIPE in 2020. The workshop received 36 submissions and invited 12 presenters from institutions ranging from the US to Europe. It created a unique opportunity for graduate students to reconnect with each other in person, present their work, and receive feedback from their peers. Given the success, this year, we would like to continue fostering such intellectual networking opportunities. In particular, in support of the APSA 2023 Meeting conference theme, “Rights and Responsibilities in an Age of Mis- and Disinformation”, we particularly welcome research that has policy implications on strategies to deal with misinformation from a transnational perspective.

Workshop participants will have the opportunity to present their research and receive in-depth feedback in small groups. Those who are interested in presenting research should submit a proposal no later than May 30, 2023, to GSIPE at gsipe.workshop@gmail.com. Proposals should include an abstract (300 words), and 3-5 keywords to help us find discussants and create small panels. We particularly welcome submissions from scholars who are underrepresented in IPE.

All participants (junior scholars and discussants) will need to register for the main APSA meeting. Please contact GSIPE organizers Anthony Calacino (anthony.calacino@utexas.edu), Zoe Ge (xg762@nyu.edu), or Elisa Navarra (Elisa.Navarra@ulb.be) with any questions.
