****** ISA 2024 Deadline: June 1 ******

Hi everyone,

 

Just a friendly reminder that the deadline for submission to ISA 2024 is coming up soon – June 1^st ! As Section Program Chair of ESS, I want to encourage you to get paper and panel proposals ready, as that’s less than a month away. As noted, the theme for ISA 2024 is Putting Relationality at the Centre of International Studies (link). Two things I would like to mention: 

 

1. for a variety of reasons, there was a pretty high number of cancellations from presenters, discussants, and panels in ISA 2023. To that end, to the extent possible, please try to check in with potential panel members during the proposal process. It is of course difficult to project what issues could arise by the time of the conference next year, but if visa issues (as an example) are likely to arise, it would be helpful to start thinking about them as early as possible.
2. The theme for ISA 2024 strongly encourages very broad ways of thinking about international/global environmental issues. As mentioned in the call: “Indigenous, Decolonial, Black, Intersectional, Abolitionist, Queer and Marxist Feminist lineages of thought on, and as, relationality offer a fundamental onto-epistemological challenge to a discipline that has at times focused narrowly on actors in a vacuum, and been bound by hetero-patriarchal frameworks of modern/colonial state governance and law.” To that end, I would also like to strongly encourage considering co-sponsorship of panels across different sections: Global South, Global IR, Feminist Theory and Gender Studies, IPE, and so on. For environmental studies scholars, this is a great way to encourage cross-sectional dialogue in very productive ways.

 

Thank you all, and am looking forward to seeing (some of) you in San Francisco next year!
