- August 28-31, 2008: American Political Science Association (APSA) Annual Meeting, Boston, MA.
Categorization and differentiation of ideas, people, institutions, and nations has continued as an unabated intellectual force in the 100-year history of political science as a professional discipline. Changes in world political economy and social organization like globalization, democratization, and international migration, highlight the dynamic character of the distinctions manifest in categories, and invite a close examination of the construction, interpretation, and maintenance of categorical boundaries. The theme of the 2008 APSA Annual Meeting, “Categories and the Politics of Global Inequalities,” challenges scholars to carefully reconsider the evolving relationship between categories and global inequalities.
