New England Area Political Psychology Meeting (NEAPP)

Harvard's Working Group in Political Psychology and Behavior (WOGPOP) is pleased to announce the call for abstracts for our annual New England Area Political Psychology Meeting (NEAPP). NEAPP invites interdisciplinary work that uses a psychological and empirical orientation to examine the micro-foundations of citizen and elite behavior.

The meeting will be hosted in person at Harvard University on May 9, 2025. It will start at 10:00 AM and end around 3:00 PM, with a break for lunch at 12:00 PM and a networking happy hour from 3:00-5:00 PM. Following last year's model, papers will be briefly presented and discussed during the meeting. Participants are asked to read the papers in advance of the meeting so that the majority of time can be dedicated to discussion. Please find this year's papers on the left as they become available.

Attendance is open, but requires registration.

To register to attend or to submit an abstract, visit this portal. Abstracts will be accepted until March 21, 2025. Registration closes on April 25, 2025.
