Dear WGAPE network,

WGAPE is excited to announce that our 2020 WGAPE Regional Meeting will be held at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) this year! The regional meeting will take place on April 24-25, 2020.

A call is now open for papers/research designs that reflect WGAPE’s broad research agenda on the political economy of African development, including ethnic politics, civil conflict and violence, decentralization and democratization, corruption, local governance, public economics, and other related topics. Experimental research with field data will be given priority. Graduate students and junior faculty are particularly encouraged to apply. Each submission that is selected will receive a one-hour discussion slot at the meeting. Presenters provide little more than a few brief, orienting comments before the floor is opened for discussion. WGAPE meetings provide an excellent opportunity for advanced PhD candidates to work on refining their job market papers.

WGAPE provides full funding for the cost of airfare, accommodations and meals for presenters. Due to the regional nature of the meeting, we will prioritize attendees based in the Western U.S. and Canada. We encourage interested applicants located outside North America to submit papers/research designs to our upcoming international meeting in Abu Dhabi.

A PDF version of the call is available here. Papers and research designs can be submitted at this link.

The submission deadline will be 11:59pm PT on February 9, 2020.

Please circulate this call to your networks. Any questions or concerns can be sent to Michelle Layvant at wgapeworkshop@gmail.com. 

Sincerely,
Michelle Layvant
