This is a call for panel proposals for the upcoming general conference in Prague September 6-9. So far we have three panel proposals, one on the intersection between nationalism and inequality, one on recent conceptualizations of power in political sociology, and one on the implications (notably lobbying) of career trajectories of EU civil servants. We need more.
Would you be interested in proposing something? For panel proposals at this stage (before November 16) we just need a good topic title with a short description of what kinds of presentations ideally would be included. Niilo and I will look over all the panel proposals we receive and come up with a theme and description of the section proposal for ECPR.
You could also offer a section proposal though that would be more involved. A section proposal needs a thematic title, a description, and 4-8 panels on subtopics that fit within the thematic title. All of that would also need to be sent us before November 16.
Finally, I would note that currently migration seems like the elephant in the EU room. A very important current political sociology issue. It would be desirable if we had a panel on that topic. Anyone interested.
For ECPR guidelines on sections and panels you can look at http://ecpr.eu/Events/Content.aspx?ID=140&EventID=95
