The American Politics Group's 2025 Annual Conference welcomes anyone with an interest in American domestic and international politics, political history, government and society. We invite proposals for conference papers on any aspect of US politics: the November elections and their consequences are likely to prove a central topic of discussion, but papers examining contemporary US political institutions or processes, US foreign policy, or US political history will all be very welcome. We particularly encourage proposals from postgraduate students and early career researchers.

How does poetry circulate in/through contemporary everyday spaces, and how do the networks of poets, publishers, and readers inform its evolving role in public discourse? The inaugural EAAS Poetry Network symposium aims to examine not only poetry as an individual expression but as a collaborative practice deeply embedded in collective experience. By exploring how poetry engages public spaces, we also hope to address questions of accessibility, inclusivity, and the boundaries of poetic form.
