Dear IMCers

Forwarding this message from Dvora Yanow -- note there are some virtual 
options. And if you do have a book coming or out, let us know too!

This might be my last message to the list for the year; if so, wishing 
those of you having holidays over the new year all the best for those 
and looking forward to a jam packed 2022

Best wishes

Nick

Have you published a book using interpretive methods and methodologies 
in 2020 or 2021? If so, would you be interested in joining us for the 
workshop *“*Strutting Our Stuff”: Celebrating New Interpretive Books in 
Empirical Political Science, at the Western Political Science 
Association’s 2022 meeting? At the moment it is scheduled to take place 
in Portland, OR on March 9; see below for virtual options.

WPSA has a tradition of Wednesday, preconference workshops. Since 2013, 
we and others have organized various kinds of sessions focusing on 
interpretive research. For 2022, we—Farah Godrej (UC Riverside), Peri 
Schwartz-Shea (emerita, Utah), and Dvora Yanow (Wageningen)—are planning 
a session that will feature authors of newly published books using 
empirical interpretive research methods.

We are planning for a hybrid (in-person and online) session from 
1:45-5.45 p.m., which will be a kind of “speed dating” to introduce 
authors of books presenting empirical interpretive research to 
participants in the session. Each author will have ~10 minutes 
(depending on how many authors we have) to introduce their book topic 
and tell in what ways they use interpretive research methods in it. In 
the event that the conference goes virtual, we will switch to an online 
session, from 8 a.m. to noon, Pacific time. We don’t know at this moment 
when that decision will be made.

If you would like to join in, please send us the following: the book 
title, publication details, and a 2-3 sentence explanation of what is 
"interpretive" about it, whether in methodological terms or in terms of 
specific methods. The number of slots is limited, and we will accept 
expressions of interest on a first-come, first-served basis.

Also, if you cannot make it, please send us the same information, 
anyways, as we are trying to produce a bibliography of recently 
published books doing interpretive empirical research.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Farah, Peri, and Dvora

PS WPSA also wants to know if you have a recently published book. Their 
information follows. Please contact them directly about this.


*A RECENT BOOK AUTHOR? LET WPSA KNOW*

If you have published a book in the past two years or have one in press, 
we would like to know. The WPSA has many successful authors and editors 
among its members and we would like to do more in sharing their 
accomplishments. As you may have seen, we had a very successful table 
set aside at past meetings to display the work of our authors/editors. 
We will be putting together a similar table at the Portland meeting in 
March. In previous years, we have approached publishers directly to ask 
that our members’ books be displayed at our annual meeting. We have 
received feedback from some editors and marketing people that they are 
more likely to display books if the authors make the request themselves. 
So, we are asking you to contact either your editor or marketing person 
to request your book or books be displayed. If they are interested in 
doing so, please have them contact Elsa Favila at favilaej at csus.edu 
<mailto:favilaej at csus.edu>. The cost for displaying a single book is 
inexpensive ($50).

In addition to getting your book displayed, we would also like to 
publicize your work in /The Western/ (the WPSA Newsletter) and on /The 
New West/ (our blog). If you have been recently published (2020-21) or 
are soon to be (2022), please send us a note with a *full 
citation* (authors, full title of book, publisher, and year; it helps us 
save time if the citation is in Note format using the Chicago Style with 
the authors’ first and last names in normal order). If the book has 
received any awards or special recognition, please include that 
information. If you have a photo of the book’s cover, please send that 
as well. Finally, let us know if you would be willing to write something 
related to the book in the association’s blog. Send this information to 
Richard Clucas, WPSA Executive Director, hprc at pdx.edu <mailto:hprc at pdx.edu>.
