A professor of political economics, Dr. Sharyn O’Halloran teaches undergraduate- and graduate-level courses at Columbia University. Dr. Sharyn O’Halloran also participates in activities hosted by the American Political Science Association (APSA).

In 2016, APSA will host its 112th Annual Meeting in Philadelphia. Taking place at the Philadelphia Convention Center on September 1-4, the forum will cover topics related to the theme of Great Transformations: Political Science and the Big Questions of Our Time. The conference will encourage attendees to reflect on major challenges impacting social, technological, economics, and environmental spheres, as well as approaches to studying large and complex processes. Attendees should also expect discussions on comparative politics and new norms and policies.

APSA is accepting proposals for papers and roundtables. In addition, it seeks short course and workshop ideas that encourage hands-on participation. These activities should embrace adult learning principles while offering information that enhances knowledge in professional development or a subfield. The call for proposals is open through January 8, 2016.
