CPSA Women’s Caucus
The Women’s Caucus of the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA) is a network of members of the CPSA who seek to promote equal opportunities and the status of women within the ranks of Canadian Political Science. An informal network, the caucus meets once a year at the Annual Meeting the Canadian Political Science Association. It works to mentor women entering the field, to provide opportunities for networking among its members, to raise the visibility of women in the field, and to address and advocate on gender issues more generally.
Please consider joining the CPSA Women’s Caucus Facebook group.

CPSA Parliamentary Internship Programme Transition Committee
On 1 June 2023, the Board of Directors of the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA) voted to establish a Parliamentary Internship Programme Transition Committee. This ad hoc committee is composed of Willem Maas (Glendon), Jonathan Malloy (Carleton), Alex Marland (Acadia), François Rocher (Ottawa), and Lisa Young (Calgary), and its mandate is to work with the House of Commons toward establishing a new administrative arrangement for the Parliamentary Internship Programme that ensures its sustainability and embodies academic integrity, non-partisanship, and bilingualism. The Committee will submit a preliminary report to the CPSA Board in December 2023, an interim report in May 2024, and a final report in December 2024.
For questions and comments, please contact the Committee’s Chair, Dr. Malloy, at jonathan.malloy@carleton.ca
