Latin American Political Methodology (LAPolMeth) Meeting 2024
The eight Latin American Polmeth (LAPolMeth) meeting will take place on-site on on November 22-23, 2024 in Montevideo, Uruguay. The meeting is hosted by Universidad de la República and sponsored by the Society for Political Methodology, Princeton University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The meeting will feature a limited number of paper workshops, a poster session for graduate students, and two keynote talks by prominent political methodologists. Participants will have the option to participate in person or online.
This gathering continues our tradition of advancing the development and application of innovative research methodologies within the political science community in the region.
This two-day conference will feature a variety of workshop-style panels, a poster session for graduate students, and keynote addresses by distinguished figures in the field. We welcome submissions that demonstrate methodological innovations and research applying advanced methods to pivotal political and social questions.
While we aim to promote quantitative social science research in Latin America, we are keen to include contributions from scholars focusing on global regions.
