About

The recent growth of data sources and new research tools has significantly advanced social science methods. These innovations present exciting opportunities and complex challenges, particularly for early career scholars.

In response, our Standing Group on Political Methodology has introduced its Early Careers Lounge. This series of free online workshops invites researchers to explore cutting-edge approaches and methods in social science and discuss how these are shaping the discipline. It offers a collaborative space to share work, exchange ideas and receive feedback from peers and experts.

We welcome papers, proposals and ideas on topics including:

  • Survey experiments
  • Relational class analysis
  • Qualitative thematic analysis
  • Mixed-methods research
  • Quantitative text analysis
  • Field surveys

Workshops are held monthly, with exact dates published on an ongoing basis.

Join a growing network dedicated to advancing the quality and inclusivity of political science pedagogy! Register for the series to receive the latest updates on forthcoming workshops.

If you are interested in sharing your research, we have spaces available! See the 'How to Join' tab for more details.
