Several working papers are on the road this year, each in front of a different kind of room.
The epistemic-elites network paper goes to ISA (the International Studies Association’s annual convention — IR’s biggest gathering) and MPSA (the Midwest Political Science Association meeting in Chicago). “Stance Is Not a Construct” makes the methods circuit: MPSA, then PolMeth (the Society for Political Methodology’s summer meeting, the field’s most technical audience), then APSA (the American Political Science Association annual meeting). The political geometry of ideology in LLMs goes to IC2S2 (the International Conference on Computational Social Science). And the work on how networks respond to shocks goes to NetSci (the network science community’s home conference) and PaCSS (Politics and Computational Social Science).
A year of putting the measurement arguments in front of very different rooms — IR scholars, methodologists, network scientists — which is exactly where they get better. If you’ll be at any of these, come say hi.
