Attendance at annual conferences in Political Science and International Studies is one of the best ways
for me to remain current in my field. These are the conferences that are important for me to attend on
a semi-regular (not annual) basis:
1. American Political Science Association Annual Conference, held in early September at rotating
locations
2. American Political Science Association Teaching and Learning Conference, held in February at
rotating locations
3. International Studies Association Annual Conference, held in early April at rotating locations
