Visions in Methodology

Visions in Methodology

Visions in Methodology (VIM) supports women+ who study political methodology. VIM is committed to supporting all individuals who have identified and continue to identify as women (including cisgender and trans women), intersex individuals who do not identify as male, individuals assigned female at birth who have not taken medical or legal steps to identify as male, and individuals assigned female at birth who do not identify within the gender binary.  In addition to providing a forum to share scholarly work, VIM connects these scholars in a field where they are under-represented. VIM provides opportunities for scholarly progress, networking, and professional mentoring in research and teaching in order to support women in the political methodology community. Averaging about 30 participants, VIM's multi-day conferences feature research presentations and discussions on both methodological and substantive topics.
