Congratulations to @AusPSA on the launch of its new website. A collaboration between the Australian Political Studies Association and @ECPR website developers.

An Australia and the EU partnership that strengthens our political studies community.

Behind the Research: PhD Candidates in the Final Stretch.

One of my unofficial jobs as an alumnus of @Griffith_Uni is to be on the cheering squad for the current cohort of PhD candidates. In this edition of Behind the Research, I'm featuring two scholars who are nearing completion of their doctoral journeys:

• Mariel Verroya — The Politics of Expertise during COVID-19, examining how expertise was constructed and contested during a global crisis. Follow Mariel on LinkedIn.

• Ibrahim Genc — Research on how political leaders construct and frame crises in ways that advance strategic political agendas. Follow Ibrahim on LinkedIn and X @gencibr

I know all too well what's involved and the effort required in this final phase before submission. You both have tremendous support in Griffith and your supervisors. Go, Go, Go!

Behind the Research is dedicated to supporting the impact and visibility of PhD candidates and Early Career Researchers.

The UBC Centre for Migration Studies @UBCMigration invites UBC Vancouver scholars to submit abstracts for the 2026 CMS Migration & Integration Conference, taking place on 27 April 2026, at @UBC, Vancouver.

Supported by funding from the Migrant Integration in the Mid-21st Century: Bridging Divides @BridgDivides research program, this conference brings together researchers from across disciplines to share new work on #migration and #integration.

Concurrent panels will explore four thematic areas, alongside a dedicated panel on communicating migration research for impact. A semi-structured networking session will provide graduate students and early-career scholars with opportunities to connect with peers in their fields.

The CMS Migration & Integration Conference is how I started last year's conference season. It's a winner, full of encouragement and support. A one-day conference to refresh the collaborative spirit. Uniquely Canadian. Uniquely Vancouver! Submission deadline: Friday, 30 January 2026, 11:59 PM (PST) @UBCNews

My favourite conference this year, once again, is the Australian Political Studies Association Conference 2025, which took place at the University of Melbourne, from 24 to 27 November. From the organisers, participants, and volunteers, I have added new colleagues and friends to the ranks.

It's also one of the most encouraging and supportive environments for testing ideas and piloting new approaches. For me, the mark of a successful event @AusPSA @UniMelb @pandanus_petter @billshortenvcuc 🧵(1/4)

[Daniel William Szabo @DanielWSzabo]

My most recent data that supports this opportunity and possibilities framing are the seminar experiences at this conference. I witnessed colleagues operating at the top of their game, and early-career researchers like me pursuing mastery. In this environment, the top feeling I walk away with is #determination @AusPSA (3/4)
