PSA Annual Conference

Political Studies Association 76th Annual International Conference PSA26: Political Studies Futures 30 March – 1 April 2026, Oxford

Join us in Oxford for PSA26 to discuss Political Studies Futures

Our 2026 international annual conference will take place in Oxford, from Monday 30 March to Wednesday 1 April 2026.

The PSA’s annual conference is a rewarding, and popular event for those researching, teaching, studying, or practicing politics, political studies, international relations, and related disciplines. Hosting over 200 panels, keynotes, workshops, and professional development opportunities, last year’s conference attracted over 900 international academics, students, and professionals. This three-day conference is a unique and valuable opportunity for delegates to share research, exchange ideas, and broaden networks.

PSA26 will take place in the heart of the city, across three central venues, all walking distance from each other. The main conference hub and exhibitors will be based in the Examination Schools, with sessions and events also taking place nearby at St Catherine’s College and Wadham College.

PSA26 Registration Fees and delegate support

PSA Annual Conferences are international events, open to all researchers and practitioners, at all difference stages of their careers. We seek to encourage and support as many international and UK-based attendees as we can, in the fairest ways. We anticipate PSA26 registration options being similar to last year, and our terms and conditions of support will be made available as early as possible.

The PSA is a registered charity, and our annual conference is part of our charitable aims to advocate, support, advance and enrich research and practice for those teaching, learning and practicing within political studies and related disciplines. The conference does not seek to make profit, and we strive to keep registration fees as low and affordable as possible.
