Call for papers: The 6th Nordic Political Behavior Workshop

We are happy to invite proposals for the 6th Nordic Political Behavior Workshop taking place in the Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, on September 24-25, 2026.

Aim

The two-day workshop is dedicated to in-depth feedback on a smaller set of papers researching political behavior broadly defined (including, but not limited to, the adjacent subfields of political psychology, public opinion, and political representation). We welcome scholars applying all types of methods and data, and the workshop has no specific regional emphasis.

Format and participants

We expect to discuss approximately 10 papers. Each paper will be assigned an hour for discussion. Non-presenting scholars are also welcome as the discussion of the papers will be of broader relevance.

The workshop is intended to bring together Nordic and international scholars within the field and we strongly encourage participation from people of all ranks and backgrounds. In addition to providing feedback, the workshop is intended to provide an opportunity to connect with new people—especially for junior scholars.

Funding

Thanks to funding from the Carlsberg Foundation, participation in the workshop is free of charge and meals and refreshments during the workshop are provided for participants. Accommodation for presenters (up to two nights) is also covered. Participants will have to cover their own travel.

Deadline and submission

Please submit your abstract to the workshop on the link below by May 29, 2026. We expect to communicate decisions on acceptance of papers by mid-June.

Submit your abstract.
