“Greetings to all members and friends of the SPSA, and welcome to our new website! We hope you will find this website informative and easy to use. We have simple drop down menus that allows easy access to information about the SPSA, including how to become a member, our leadership, our programs, our grants and awards, and other opportunities. We also provide information about our upcoming conference in New Orleans and the Journal of Politics. Through our website you can submit a proposal and register for the conference, find information about the Journal of Politics, and find liks to submit a manuscript to JOP.

This has been a year of change for the SPSA. In addition to our new website, we have changed our logo, installed a new team of Editors for the Journal of Politics, and selected the University of Chicago Press to become JOP’s new publisher next year. All of these changes will help the SPSA better support the political science community. While we have made many changes, one thing remains the same – our deep commitment to serving the broad community of political scientists and those interested in the study of politics.”
