We are delighted to announce that the Prairie Political Science Association (PPSA) will be holding its 16th Annual Meeting from Friday late-afternoon to Sunday at noon, September 19–21, 2025.
The conference will be held at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Banff, Alberta, Canada, located in Treaty 7 Territory, traditional lands of the Stoney Nakoda, Blackfoot, Tsuut’ina Nations, and the Ktunaxa Nation.
We are very pleased that the 2025 PPSA Conference and Indigenous Relationality Workshop (IRW) will again be running in parallel. PPSA and IRW participants are each invited to attend sessions in both events.
The PPSA Annual Meeting is famous for its collegial atmosphere, great food, and spectacular setting in the Canadian Rockies. The Banff Centre offers on-site accommodation.Conference fees include two dinners, two breakfasts, a lunch, day-long catering, and child care services.

Easy interaction and exchange of ideas with colleagues is made possible through shared first-class dining facilities at the Banff Centre and excellent conference space. While maintaining a roughly 2:1 Faculty-to-Graduate student participation ratio, grad students have found the PPSA a positive and supportive environment to present their research.
