The Midwest Political Science Association (MPSA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing scholarship in political science. Founded in 1939, it aims to promote professional study and teaching, facilitate communication among researchers, and develop standards to encourage research in both theoretical and practical political issues. The association publishes the American Journal of Political Science and hosts a large annual conference in April, drawing thousands of presenters from the U.S. and beyond. Based in Bloomington, Indiana, MPSA operates within the non-profit sector of political science, serving scholars, educators, and policymakers who seek rigorous analysis across all major areas of the field. In recent years, its activities have included collaborations and program initiatives that highlight comparative politics and humanities-oriented engagement with policy-relevant topics.
