2023 State Politics and Policy Conference: Diversity and Democracy in the American States

The State Politics and Policy Conference will be in Pittsburgh May 18th – May 20th 2023. Chris Bonneau and Tessa Provins are thrilled to host SPPC 2023 with university partners including the Pitt Political Science Department, the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA), the Urban Studies Center at the University of Pittsburgh, and the Center for Governance and Markets. This year our theme is Diversity and Democracy in the American States. This theme embraces two longstanding traditions in the state politics literature: states as laboratories of democracy and states representing different aspects of diversity in American political life. Please upload papers and posters by Friday, May 12th 2023 by 11:59pm to allow chairs, panelists, and other conference attendees time to read your materials. https://www.polisci.pitt.edu/sppc2023
