#PSA25 Highlights. It was our biggest international Annual Conference attended by over 900 people. We look forward to sharing our top take-aways soon.

We've had a great set of panels at PSA in Birmingham so far, and one more on the final day. Five papers so it's a big one!

We have landed in Birmingham! First panel on Tuesday looks at problems of governance in various guises. Featuring papers from:
Oscar Nowlan
@samwarner.bsky.social
@ixchelperezduran.bsky.social
Looking forward to it!

Our final panel on Monday at 3:30 is a diverse lot from across the spectrum of our specialist group, and all the papers look fascinating! Featuring:
Masahiro Kobori
Hidetaka Yasuda
Catherine DuRose
Liz Richardson
@sarahayres.bsky.social
@ianelliott.bsky.social
And many other co-authors!

Our second panel on Monday, confusingly named Public Policy and Administration Panel 3, focuses on trust and inclusion in several different case studies. Very timely! Featuring

Andrea Lawlor
Shamsoddin Shariati
