Proposal and Eligibility Details
Pi Sigma Alpha members who are current undergraduates are eligible to submit a proposal, consisting of a 250-word abstract and title. The committee is interested in all proposals focused on an issue relevant to political science. Selected proposals are often grouped into substantive themes common to political science including American politics, international relations and comparative politics, and political theory; however, we are also particularly interested in proposals exploring timely political issues related to race, ethnicity, and politics, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, climate change effects and responses, and the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The proposal deadline has now passed.
