On 1-3 October 2025, the Department of Political Science at Linnaeus University will be hosting the 2025 Swedish Political Science Conference (SWEPSA).
About the conference
Political science stands at a pivotal moment, confronted with both significant challenges and transformative opportunities. In an increasingly turbulent world, it is essential to reflect on the questions we have yet to ask, the topics we have overlooked, and the perspectives we have failed to include. The future of the discipline will be shaped by these inquiries, as well as by the capacity of early career scholars—PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and beyond—to lead political science into innovative and impactful directions.
At the 2025 Swedish Political Science Conference, participants will engage in dynamic discussions on the future of political science, exploring the critical issues that will define our field in the years to come. These conversations will unfold across a variety of events.
