Standing group meetings at the ECPR Conference in Glasgow

As you are preparing your schedules for the upcoming general conference in Glasgow, please note the following two events for the Political Sociology Standing Group.  First, we have scheduled a Standing Group business meeting for Thursday September 4 17-18h at a location to be determined.  It has been very difficult to find a time that would not conflict with our panels and Thursday 17-18h seems to be the least intrusive.  The business meeting will review a number of concerns to all ECPR standing groups and brainstorm for a theme, panel topics and leaders for the next general conference.  So please join us if you can.
Second,  Nillo Kauppi and I are planning an informal gathering for dinner at some local restaurent for Saturday evening.  Time and location will be announced in Glasgow.  All are welcome.
