Networks in Political Science 2008-- a postmortem
A quick note to say that the NIPS conference seemed to hit a nerve. When the incipient organizing committee discussed this last August, we were originally envisioning a conference/workshop of 30. Instead, we had 200 attendees, 3 parallel sessions with 40 presentations, 80 posters, and 2 days of packed workshops. There were papers representing the full, diverse, spectrum of political science. In the plenary discussion afterwards there was a clear consensus that this should not be a one-off, but that further steps should be taken in terms of facilitating the entry of network methods into the field. These steps include exploring holding another conference next year, methods workshops at APSA, creating an organized section within APSA, creating a listserv, and creating a paper archive. I would be interested in hearing reactions from the broader interested community in thoughts as to what should/should not be done—feel free to express as comments in the blog.

Hi. Could you tell me more about NIPS? Is there a website or plans for a future get-together? I'm a political scientist at Ole Miss, have been blogging for about a year now, and had never heard of NIPS.
