Where Ideas Meet Inquiry
Polity: Undergraduate Research Conference was established in 2025 with the goal of creating a space to present and celebrate McGill political science undergraduate students' research projects. Starting with an initial idea of a political science conference for undergraduates, the Conference has grown into student-led panels, professor-led roundtables, graduate student-led research seminars, and networking sessions.
Polity: URC is both an opportunity to present undergraduate research and have meaningful conversations with students and faculty about topics in political science. The first-ever Conference will take place from March 19 to 20, 2026.
I am lucky to have collaborated with intelligent and passionate individuals on this endeavour, including the Conference Vice Chairs. Polity: URC would not be possible without the support of McGill's Political Science Students' Association, the McGill Graduate Association of Political Studies Students, the Department of Political Science, and Montréal-area businesses. The Conference truly is the product of a community's hard work, and I am incredibly grateful to be Chair of the inaugural Polity: URC.
