Welcome to the CPSA Student Caucus

The Student Caucus represents all graduate and undergraduate members of the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA). It provides a space where students can:

• Showcase their research through CPSA conferences and activities.
• Connect with peers and mentors across Canada.
• Access career resources and learn from practitioners about diverse professional pathways.
• Shape the CPSA agenda by sharing their priorities, interests, and concerns.

As the Student Representative on the CPSA Board of Directors, I work to ensure that student voices are represented in all aspects of the Association. I also collaborate with CPSA’s Practitioner Representative, Dr. Josée Bergeron, to develop activities that bridge academic and professional communities.

Upcoming Student Caucus Activities

• Annual Student Caucus Meeting at the CPSA Conference – an open forum for students to network, share priorities, and set future goals. This year’s event is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, June 2, from 12:00 – 1:30 pm.
• Workshops, mentoring, and professional development opportunities led by experienced scholars and practitioners.

Resources for Students

• Social media: Follow the CPSA on Twitter/X, Bluesky, and Instagram for news, events, and opportunities.
• Job postings: Political science job opportunities are shared on POLCAN2, Twitter/X, and Bluesky.
