37th International Meeting of THE ERIC VOEGELIN SOCIETY
37th International Meeting of THE ERIC VOEGELIN SOCIETY, 2021 American Political Science Association Meeting September 28-October 2 Seattle, WA
David Walsh, Meeting Director
Friends, I look forward to seeing you in person or virtually at our annual meeting that will take place mainly in Seattle, a month later than our normal Labor Day weekend. Our pandemic experience means that we will not simply be returning to business as usual. We have a mixture of in-person and virtual events. Panelists have already selected their preferences. For those who are on an in-person panel, but unable to attend, there is the option of recording your presentation and making it available for the audience. The chairs will be responsible for facilitating those relatively few cases. APSA informs us that all of the panels will be either in the Washington State Convention Center or in the adjacent Sheraton Grand Seattle, the headquarters hotel. Please be sure to distribute your papers to all panelists well in advance of the meeting. Chairs are responsible for overseeing this and coordinating in advance with the presenters. To be listed in the program you must register for the meeting. Members of APSA are kindly requested to also indicate your membership in the Related Group, the Eric Voegelin Society. This is also a good time to remind ourselves of the imperative of supporting EVS itself. Without dues, we rely on your generosity and a donate button can be found here, or you may contact our treasurer, David Whitney, [email protected]. Wishing you a pleasant and productive summer.
