The POLECONUK Webinar provides a platform for scholars to share research in political economy with a broad academic audience. We are part of the POLECONUK network. To attend, please join our mailing list; registered participants receive an email with joining details a few days before each event.
The seminar consists of a 50-minute presentation followed by a 10-minute Q&A, with questions taken either in the chat or live. Afterwards, participants are invited to stay for an informal, unrecorded discussion with the speaker. Recordings are posted only with the speaker’s consent and can be found under Past Seminars when available.

Suggest speakers or papers
Suggest speakers or papers
Have you come across an important recent paper in political economy, theoretical or empirical?
Do you think it would be of broad interest?
Is there someone, perhaps too far away to visit in person, whose work you would like to see presented online?
Please send us a short email with the speaker’s name or the paper you would like to suggest, and we will consider them when putting together future programmes.
We welcome suggestions of early-career and established scholars. We are keen to encourage broad professional service and wider engagement with the field. For this reason, we ask that suggestions do not include self-nominations or nominations of close collaborators.
