Sharing Insights and Ideas: Theorizing, Teaching, Research, and Publishing on the Global South


Livestream on livestream.com/sciencespo. Hashtag :#globalsouth2012

 

The International Studies Association (headquartered at the University of Arizona, USA) is the largest, most respected and widely known scholarly association promoting research and education in International Relations (IR). It represents more than eighty countries and has approximately 6,000 members worldwide.

The Global South Caucus (GSCIS) is a unit of ISA, initiated in 2011, and open to members of ISA who study the global south regionally (Africa, Asia, Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean) or globally, as well as relevant south societies in the north and relations between the north and south. Among the aims of the caucus is to provide a channel for the sharing of research, information and ideas among scholars and practitioners of/in the various regions of the south; to encourage the dissemination of research on the global south in major journals; and to encourage graduate students to work on south issues and regions.

The First Global South International Studies Conference will be devoted to developing theoretical ideas appropriate to studying the international relations and foreign policy of the global south as well as to sharing teaching, learning and publishing experiences and methods–perceived shortcomings as well as strengths—related to the study of the south by scholars/students from the north and south. Moreover, the workshop aims to help develop tangible goals on moving forward in global south studies; these would serve as guidelines for coming conferences. We are interested in soliciting input and feedback from scholars about particular operational mechanisms that they have used successfully in each issue- area, or that they would like to access in their own work. The conference will serve as an arena for the sharing of ideas and experiences among senior and junior scholars and graduate students, thus achieving a balance of experience and apprenticeship.

 

Co-sponsored by the International Studies Association’s Global South Caucus and Sciences Po College-Middle East and Mediterranean campus in Menton
