2025 State Politics and Policy Conference

This year our theme is connecting research to practice. The field of state politics and policy produces a significant amount of research that is directly relevant for policy makers and the general public. The discipline articulates the findings of this scholarship through numerous channels to non-scholarly audiences and public officials. We encourage papers and panel ideas that explore these channels and investigate how to more effectively connect state politics research to governmental practice. https://www.umassd.edu/sppc2025/
