The Australian Society for Quantitative Political Science

Each year the Australian Society for Quantitative Political Science holds an annual conference to address the latest scholarship in quantitative political science. The 10th Annual Conference will be hosted by the Institute for Humanities & Social Sciences, Australian Catholic University, Melbourne, 12-13 December, 2022.

This will be an in-person conference, with proceedings held at the Institute for Humanities & Social Sciences’ facilities in the Fitzroy neighbourhood near the Melbourne CBD.

Melbourne is the capital of the southeastern Australian state of Victoria. The city is home to many of the best-known cultural institutions in the nation, including the National Gallery of Victoria and  Royal Exhibition Building. It has been recognised as a UNESCO City of Literature and a global centre for street art, live music and theatre. Its laneways, restaurants and coffee are icons, and it is only a short trip to the famous Yarra Valley wineries.

Keynote Speakers

Professor Anna Harvey is the President and CEO of the Social Science Research Council and Professor of Politics at New York University. At NYU, Professor Harvey is also an Affiliated Professor of Data Science and Law and the Director of the Public Safety Lab.

Graeme Blair is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Blair uses experiments and field research to study the causes and consequences of violence in developing countries – and what we can do about them. His book Research Design: Declaration, Diagnosis, Redesign is forthcoming at Princeton University Press.
