2026 APSA Political Communication Preconference

This year, the pre-conference will be held in person at Boston University on September 2, 2026. Keeping with the theme of the 2026 APSA Annual Meeting, “Democracy under Threat: How to Understand, Protect, and Rebuild,” the APSA Political Communication Pre-Conference invites research on how communication shapes democratic threat and resilience; the roles that media systems, disinformation, elite discourse, and digital platforms play in supporting or contesting democratic backsliding; and the ways that messaging, collective action, and information environments influence how publics understand, protect, and reimagine democracy.
