Section Heads review proposal submissions and organize them into sessions for the Annual Conference. The MPSA will provide each Section Head with an allocation of sessions, and the Section Heads need to create approximately that number of sessions, using the MPSA software (All Academic), and make sure that there are an appropriate number of papers on each session, as well as discussants or chairs. Usually, the entire section can be organized in a day or two in the autumn. The Section Heads will need to find replacement discussants in the winter and spring. Section descriptions can be found here.

The MPSA has a number of committees and needs over 150 faculty members to serve in these roles. If you are interested in being considered for a committee, please offer to serve below. Committee descriptions can be found here.

The AJPS needs qualified, experienced professional-level members to provide timely reviews of manuscripts being considered for publication in the journal.

If you are interested in reviewing manuscripts for the AJPS, please offer to serve below and we will share your information with editorial staff. If you are selected to be a reviewer, you will be contacted directly by a representative from the AJPS. More information and instructions for AJPS Reviewers can be found here.
