This is the submission form for the 2024 APSA Political Communication Preconference.

The Pol Comm Preconference will be held on Wed Sept 4, 2024 at the Annenberg Public Policy Center on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS TUESDAY APRIL 30, 2024 at 11:59 pm EST.

In keeping with the main conference theme, “Democracy: Retrenchment, Renovation, & Reimagination ,” we urge Preconference submitters to consider how communication theory, as well as trends in journalism, digital technologies, and our broader media environment interact with - or shape - democratic norms, institutions, and processes. As always, we encourage scholars to think in terms of fundamental normative questions of democratic health, and ways of applying political communication research to advance our understanding of – and even help solve – the big questions of our time.

This year’s preconference, designed to allow time for both formal and informal discussion and exchange of ideas, will feature:

• 4 traditional panels

• 8 plenary and roundtables

• a keynote lecture from Dr. Emily Thorson on her new book "The Invented State: Policy Misperceptions in the American Public."

• Time for informal exchanges during continental breakfast, lunch, breaks, and a closing reception

This year's preconference will feature larger, traditional panel presentations (4-5 per session, 12-15 min each), as well as smaller (N<20) roundtable discussions involving shorter presentations (4-5 per session, N < 7 min each) with more time for discussion, debate, and feedback. Please indicate your preference for the kind of session in which you would like to present your work. If open to either, please select "I am open to presenting my work in EITHER presentation format."

While authors are required to submit an abstract for pre-conference review (5,000 character maximum), we anticipate researchers will vary in their level of project completion by the September 4, 2024 gathering. The pre-conference is open to the presentation of projects that range from the nascent to the fully formed, but the organizers would like to be aware of submitters' intentions in order to make best use of the large versus roundtable sessions. Please indicate whether you anticipate having a completed research project by 9/4 or preliminary work still in progress. (Note: this is a non-binding prediction, but just be as realistic as you can.)

I anticipate presenting a completed research project at the pre-conference.

I anticipate presenting a preliminary research still in progress at the pre-conference.
