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 dinner for those interested on June 28. The event will be held on the Vancouver campus of Simon Fraser University.

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 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. Further, we encourage submissions not only from people developing new analysis tools, but also from people doing rigorous quantitative work with a substantive focus. 

The link below will take you to a form where you can submit your proposal. The deadline for submissions is April 1, 2025.
