The Carolinas Conflict Consortium is an annual workshop where faculty and graduate students present research on peace and conflict. Our goal is to provide a friendly and constructive space for faculty and graduate students to present and receive feedback on their research. Previous workshops were hosted by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (2020), virtually (2021), the University of South Carolina (2022), Appalachian State University (2023), and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2024).
2025 Call for Papers
The sixth annual workshop of the Consortium will be hosted by Chris Howell and the Department of Political Science at the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina on the afternoon of April 25 and morning of April 26, 2025. If you are interested in presenting your research, serving as a discussant, or simply attending, please complete this form. There is no registration fee, and those attending cover their travel and lodging expenses. Faculty and graduate students from any institution are welcome to submit papers and to attend the workshop.
We encourage submissions about any type of conflictual or unconventional political behavior between or within states, broadly construed. Submissions can be either (1) completed papers or (2) detailed experimental or observational research designs. In past years, most papers presented at the Consortium have employed large-N statistical analysis, experiments, and/or game theoretic approaches. We also welcome volunteers to serve as discussants. Researchers are welcome to attend without presenting or serving as a discussant.
Papers or research designs will be selected for ~40 minute slots for presentation and discussion/feedback. While papers or research designs need not be finished products, they should be sufficiently complete for circulation to a discussant.
If you are interested in participating as a discussant, presenter, or attendee please complete the form below by February 10, 2025. You will be notified about if your paper is selected by mid-February.
If you have questions, please contact the organizers of the Consortium: Chelsea Estancona (estancon@mailbox.sc.edu) and James Walsh (jwalsh@charlotte.edu).
