Celebrating “what V.O. Key hath wrought . . . .”

Mark your calendars for June 2 and 4, 2011, for the 11th Annual SPPC to be held at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.

Over a half-century has passed since V.O. Key published his seminal volumes, Southern Politics in State and Nation (1949) and American State Politics: An Introduction (1956), the books that mark the origin of our distinctive subfield. Since their publication, the study of politics and policy in the U.S. states has mushroomed in the numbers of its scholars, in the diversity of their interests, in the range of methodologies employed, and in the flourishing of its scholarly community. Join in celebrating the growth, the diversity of interests, and the maturation of our subfield with your state politics and policy colleagues in one of America’s most unique college communities for two days of intensive political analysis . . . and socializing.
