MapleMeth is a regional methodology conference with the goal of engaging quantitative scholars both within and beyond Canada.

MapleMeth 2025 will be held June 28-29 2025, with a reception on June 28. The event will be held on the Vancouver campus of Simon Fraser University. Professor Michelle Dion (Senator William McMaster Chair in Gender and Methodology) will be our keynote speaker.

The event is being sponsored by the SFU Department of Political Science, and the SFU Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, and the Consortium on Electoral Democracy (C-Dem).

We invite proposals for papers and/or posters from graduate students and faculty. We encourage submissions both from people developing new analysis tools and from those doing rigorous quantitative work with a substantive focus. We expect to be able to devote at least 20-30 minutes to each paper, though the exact amount of time we have will depend on demand.

The link below will take you to a form where you can submit your proposal. The deadline for submissions is March 7, 2025 with decisions by March 14.
