Dear colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to the attached call for abstracts for a conference on "Research on Rural-Urban Divides". The two-day conference will take place on November 17-18, 2023, at Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany. The conference aims to bring together scholars who work on various aspects of contemporary rural-urban divides. Possible topics cover, but are not limited to, research on rural-urban differences in vote choice, partisanship, issue attitudes, democratic satisfaction or trust in politics; studies on the impact of rural-urban divides on social cohesion and democracy; investigations of compositional and contextual effects; research on place-based identities and resentments; or inquiries into methodological innovations in studying rural-urban divides. There will be no registration fee. Travel and accommodation support for early career researchers (PhD students and PostDocs within 3 years of PhD) will be offered on a competitive basis for presenting authors without access to funding and in line with university regulations. Refreshments and conference meals, including lunch on both days and a conference dinner on the first day, will be covered. Deadline for abstract submission: June 30, 2023 Notification of acceptance: August 15, 2019 Deadline for paper submission: November 3, 2023 Please submit an abstract of max. 250 words with a paper title and the name and affiliation of all authors to <mailto:rude-conf@soz.uni-frankfurt.de> rude-conf@soz.uni-frankfurt.de.
