Welcome to the web home of the North Carolina Political Science Association. Our Mission is to provide a forum for developing and learning about political science and all its sub-fields. To achieve this mission, we:

  • Sponsor an annual statewide conference held each spring;
  • Distribute a newsletter annually (in the spring);
  • Coordinate contacts at all North Carolina institutions of higher learning.

CALL FOR PAPERS
NCPSA/NCPAA 2025 Conference

Proposals are now being accepted for the 2025 joint meeting of the North Carolina Political Science Association & North Carolina Public Administration Alliance.

The conference will take place on the Meredith College campus in Raleigh on February 21-22, 2024. We will again be co-sponsoring the conference with the North Carolina Public Administration Alliance.

We invite faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate student students in political science and related disciplines to submit completed papers, paper proposals, roundtable discussion ideas, and poster presentations for consideration. Initial consideration will begin on December 15, 2024. All papers and proposals should be sent to dbmclennan@meredith.edu.

Conference registration will begin on December 15. The cost is $100 for faculty and professionals, $25 for graduate students, and $15 for undergraduate students. Use this link to register.

We will be using a variety of hotels near Meredith for the conference, if you wish to stay. We have 20 rooms at each of the following hotels: Courtyard Raleigh Crabtree ($149/night) and the Fairfield Raleigh Crabtree ($149/night). Both can be booked here. The Aloft Hotel is closer to campus and is more of a boutique hotel. You can also book that using the link for the other two hotels.
