03/02/15 - Appel à communication - 10th International Conference in Interpretive Policy Analysis

Call for paper : 10th IPA Conference, Lille (France), 8-10 July 2015

The Lille Center for European Research on Administration, Politics and Society (CERAPS, CNRS/Université Lille 2), together with Lille 2 University, Science Po Lille and the European Social Sciences and Humanities Research Institute (MESHS) will host the 10th International Interpretive Policy Analysis (IPA) conference under the title "Policies and their publics : discourses, actors and power" in Lille (France) from 8 July 2015 to 10 July 2015.
Paper proposals may be submitted on the conference’s website (http://ipa2015.sciencesconf.org/) from the 9th December 2014 to the 3rd February 2015. Paper proposals will be evaluated by each panel chair and paper acceptance will be notified by mid March 2015.
Regarding accepted paper proposals, full papers will be due one month prior to the conference date : 1st June 2015.
Please note that the conference is panel-based. The list of the 67 selected panels can be found below or on the website with an abstract of each panel. All paper proposers are intended to locate the most appropriate panel for their work and submit their abstract there.

Note that a number of sessions will be devoted to methodological workshops.
The workshop sessions are built on the idea of “master-classes” in musical studies, where two more experienced researchers will meet a small number of junior researchers to discuss issues regarding the use of a particular methodological strategy or method. Emphasis will be put on questions raised by young researchers whose research will be treated as case studies to generate and engage in relevant methodological issues. Once selected to take part in a workshop session, junior researchers will be asked to introduce their research project in a summary sheet (2 to3 pages-max, double-spaced 12 pointtype) ; it will focus on particular difficulties or methodological issues that have arisen in their research and/or field experiences which researchers would like to be explored in the workshop.
If you wish to be considered for inclusion in a Methodology Workshop, please submit your proposal to the « Methodological workshop panel » (N°67)

In addition, a poster competition will be organised during the conference. If
you wish to participate in the contest to present your doctoral work, you have tomake a proposal in the "panel"« Poster competition »(N°68) with the title of your doctoral work and a short presentation of it.

Please bear in mind that it is possible to make a proposal for the methodologicalworkshop and/or for the poster competition AND to submit a paper in a traditional panel as well.
