International Studies Association-Northeast Annual Conference
4-6 November 2010
Holiday Inn Inner Harbor
Baltimore, MD USA
The annual conference of the International Studies Association-Northeast (ISA-NE) will be held 4-6 November 2010 at the Holiday Inn Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD.
ISA-NE invites paper and panel proposals on any subject related to international studies, broadly defined. Topics might include (but are not limited to) international relations theory, international law and organizations, foreign policy, globalization, human rights, international development, conflict resolution, military/strategic studies, the environment, feminist theory/gender studies, and international political economy. ISA-NE expressly welcomes research on critical constructivism, post-structuralism, and postmodernism and/or undertaken through these lenses.
We also encourage paper, panel, and roundtable proposals on subjects related to this year’s conference theme, Pluralism, Pragmatism, and the Practice Turn in IR. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- How do theories of world politics inform the conduct of politics and policy?
- What should be the response of IR scholars to the diversity of cultural and religious traditions throughout the globe, and to the diversity of traditions in inquiry within the field of IR itself?
- Does studying practice make a difference? What kinds of practices are operative in world politics?
- How should one teach IR amidst all of the diversity of the globe and the field? Is there a distinctive pedagogy of pluralism, or a pragmatic pedagogy of practice?
Conference participation is open to all scholars and graduate students. We especially encourage proposals from varied disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives. We seek to showcase the work of advanced graduate students and junior as well as senior scholars, and we welcome innovative ideas about the format, structure, and content of conference sessions.
Papers delivered at ISA-NE are eligible for consideration for the Fred Hartmann Award (graduate students/ABD) or the Lee Bennett Award (scholars who have completed their Ph.D. degrees). Graduate students whose papers are accepted for presentation and who do not receive support from their departments are eligible to apply for travel support from ISA-NE.
