Each year the Australian Society for Quantitative Political Science holds an annual conference to address the latest scholarship in quantitative political science. The 11th Annual Conference will be hosted by the Centre for Governance and Public Policy at Griffith University, Brisbane, 7-8 December, 2023.
This will be an in-person conference, with proceedings held at Griffith’s Nathan campus only 20 minutes from the Brisbane CBD.
Brisbane is the capital of the Australian state of Queensland. It is a popular tourist destination, a hub for arts and dining, with perfect weather most of the year making it the perfect place for outdoor activities and alfresco dining. It is also a short drive to national parks with wildlife and the iconic beaches of the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. Come for the political science, stay for Brisbane’s weather, food and laidback charm.
