The Midwest Political Science Association (MPSA)[1] is a professional association of political science scholars and students in the United States. It was founded in 1939, and publishes the American Journal of Political Science in conjunction with Rice University.
In April of each year, the MPSA holds one of the largest political science conferences in the United States. In 2013, more than 5,700 presenters presented almost 4,700 papers at the conference.[2] Traditionally, the MPSA Conference is held in Chicago, Illinois at the historic Palmer House Hilton.
