IPS Distinguished Scholar Call
IPS Section
Dear IPS Section Members,
Thank you all for the wonderful work done in San Francisco! It was lovely to see you, and we hope that you had a great time and that this email finds you well and healthy.
We would like to thank and congratulate once again our 2024 Section award winners: Katherine M. Millar, recipient of the 2024 IPS Book Award for Support the Troops: Military Obligation, Gender, and the Making of Political Community, with Honourable Mentions to Christoph N. Vogel, Conflict Minerals, Inc.: War, Profit and White Savourism in Eastern Congo. Mirko Palestrino, recipient of the 2024 IPS Graduate Paper Award for "Cultural Victories: The Making of Victory in the UK", with Honourable Mention to Tarsis Brito for "Is Agency Everywhere? Decolonising New Materialism in Critical Security Studies". Warm congratulations also to Prof. Jef Huysmans, recipient of the 2024 IPS Distinguished Scholar Award.
We now look forward to seeing everyone in Chicago 2025! The call for papers, panels, and roundtables is open until June 1st and can be accessed here: https://www.isanet.org/Conferences/ISA2025/Call. This year’s ISA conference theme is “Reconnecting International Studies”.
The IPS Section welcomes submissions that reflect the plurality of voices in our field and especially encourages junior scholars (graduate students at any year, non-tenure track scholars, assistant professors) and scholars from the Global South to submit their work. We encourage members to develop panels that reflect diversity in gender, stage of career, and geography, and we look forward to building an exciting and inspiring program in 2025. Please remember to select IPS as the first option for your panel, paper, or roundtable submission!
Finally, each year the IPS Section gives out three annual awards: the IPS Graduate Paper Award, the IPS Book Award, and the IPS Distinguished Scholar Award. More information about deadlines is forthcoming, so please keep an eye out for our next emails, and we are particularly keen to see nominations for the Graduate Paper Award.
The deadline for Distringuished Scholar nominations in particular is June 15th. Supporting letters of no more than one page, with an accompanying CV, can be sent to Nadine Voelkner at nadine.voelkner@rug.nl.
As always, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us!
With warm wishes,
The IPS Committee
