Barcelona DEC Workshop on Political Behavior and Public Opinion
Thu, 05 Jun 2025 - Fri, 06 Jun 2025
Espagne
Organized by: Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
The DEC workshop aims to bring together junior and senior scholars working on cutting-edge research on political behavior and public opinion. We seek contributions that address important questions of our time, employ diverse theoretical perspectives, and/or use innovative methodological approaches.
This two-day event will take place in person at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. We aim for a set of about 10 papers that will be presented and thoroughly discussed in a workshop format, allowing for more time than the standard conference format. Selected participants are asked to submit a draft paper in advance, prepare a presentation, and provide feedback on papers from their fellow panelists.
There will be no registration fee. Travel and accommodation support for early career researchers (Ph.D. students and Postdocs within three years of Ph.D.) will be offered on a competitive basis for presenting authors without access to funding and in line with university regulations. Please indicate in your submission if you would like to apply for early career researcher support and how many years have passed since you received your Ph.D. or if you are an active Ph.D. student. Refreshments and workshop meals, including lunch on both days and a workshop dinner on the first day, will be covered. Please submit your abstracts (about 250 words) here by 15 January 2025. If you have any questions please contact laura.gutierrez.zarate@uab.cat.
