39th International Meeting of the Eric Voegelin Society
39th International Meeting of THE ERIC VOEGELIN SOCIETY
American Political Science Association Meeting
August 31-September 3, 2023
Los Angeles, CA
Friends,
Thank you for your continued flexibility as we navigate the many adjustments that are an inevitable part of the landing approach to our meeting. I am particularly grateful for the hard work of the APSA meetings staff as they transferred all panels to the LA Convention Center on very short notice. We also managed to preserve our full complement of 15 panels, now including one online, and gained several refugees from the main panels who helped fill out gaps in our program. Keep me posted on any changes that become necessary. Please circulate your papers to all the members of your panel and include me. The full program with emails and room assignments is below. I look forward to seeing you all soon. As always I urge you to consider using our donate button found here, or you may contact our treasurer, David Whitney, [email protected]. Additionally, support for VOEGELINVIEW is also strongly encouraged as the journal has been engaged in significant changes over the past two years under the editorship of Paul Krause. No donation is too small or too large!
Safe travels,
David Walsh
