Invitation to May 8, 2026 PRIEC
Dear Colleagues,
The Department of Political Science in collaboration with Migration Initiative, Asian American Studies, and Center for Black Studies Research at UC Santa Barbara is pleased to invite presentation proposals for the Politics of Race, Immigration, and Ethnicity Consortium (PRIEC) convening on 8 May 2026, in Santa Barbara, California.
RSVP and/or submit a paper for consideration here by the link above.
Proposal Guidelines: We welcome proposals that explore a wide range of issues related to the politics of race, immigration, and ethnicity. Proposals may focus on any level of analysis (national, state, local) and any area of the political system (legislative, executive/bureaucratic, judicial). We are especially interested in research that features institutions, governance, and public policy, or examines comparative and/or transnational perspectives with a focus on the U.S., or includes interdisciplinary approaches or community-engaged research. Research that focuses on individual-level political attitudes and political behavior is also welcome.
Who Should Submit: We encourage submissions from academic scholars, social scientists across various disciplines, and policy practitioners. We particularly welcome contributions from graduate students and early-career researchers. This is an ideal venue for sharing research at any stage of development, whether it is a work-in-progress or a more developed study. You may submit a paper, or writeup of a research design, research note, or preliminary analysis, but a fully or partially developed manuscript is not required.
Presentation Format: 12 minute presentations, comment collection after each presentation.
Deadline for full presentations: Friday, 20 March 2026
Notification of acceptance: Monday, 24 March 2026
Special Invitation to Undergraduate Scholars Poster Session:
We invite faculty to encourage undergraduate students conducting original research on topics related to the politics of race, immigration, ethnicity, or identity broadly defined to submit. This session will provide undergraduates an opportunity to engage with leading scholars and collect meaningful feedback on their projects.
Deadline for undergraduate presentations: Tuesday, 7 April 2026
Notification of acceptance: Friday, 10 April 2026
