WGAPE invites interested scholars to submit a paper or research design to present at a meeting at University of California, Berkeley from March 3rd-4th, 2023.
The Working Group in African Political Economy (WGAPE) brings together faculty and advanced graduate students in Economics and Political Science who combine field research experience in Africa with training in political economy methods. The group has met semi-annually to discuss the in-progress work of its core members and has invited guests since 2002. It is co-led by Daniel Posner (Political Science, UCLA), Edward Miguel (Economics, UC Berkeley), Amanda Robinson (Political Science, Ohio State University), and Amma Panin (Economics, University of Louvain), and hosted by the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) at UC Berkeley.
WGAPE meetings are held regionally throughout the year in different locations. This call for papers and research designs is for a West Coast meeting, presumptively for researchers located in the western United States (although we will consider applications from researchers located outside of this area, if funding permits).
WGAPE meetings center on research discussion sessions rather than presentations. Papers are circulated and expected to be read in advance by all participants. Presenters provide brief, orienting comments before the floor is opened for an hour-long discussion of each paper or research design. WGAPE accepts working papers and research designs (see an archive of papers from past WGAPE meetings here).
To submit your paper or research design, please complete the form at this URL by 11:59pm PT on January 13, 2023.
Submissions must include:
Successful applicants will be notified within a few weeks, and will be expected to attend the full 2-day workshop.
If you are based in the West Coast, and would like to participate without submitting a paper (self-funded), please write to Amy Shipow (amyshipow@berkeley.edu) with an expression of your interest and how this opportunity will contribute to your personal and professional goals.
If you have already applied for this RFP, and would either like to withdraw or amend your submission, please contact Amy Shipow at amyshipow@berkeley.edu. Please also contact this email address for any further information or clarification.
