[Interpretationandmethods] International Studies Association -- Northeast meeting

[Patrick Jackson]

Many of you know ISA-Northeast as a hospitable place for non- 
mainstream work in polisci and International Relations; we've recently  
separated from the Northeast Political Science Association, which  
gives us even more flexibility in designing our own program. Here's  
the call for proposals. I'll be sending out something next week  
inviting graduate students to the annual workshop on "interpretive and  
relational methodologies" I run in conjunction with this meeting.  
Please join us in Baltimore, and feel free to encourage your students  
and colleagues to attend as well!

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 the this year's conference theme transnationalism,  
broadly conceived.
Possible topics include but are not limited to:

Conceptual and theoretical analyses of "the transnational" especially  
in relation to other spaces, practices, and actors in world politics  
(e.g., national, international, global, supranational, local)

Transnational practices (e.g., migration, transnational crime,  
markets) and transnational actors (e.g., terrorists, advocacy  
networks, and multinational corporations)

Transnational identity, gender, race, and culture

Post-national expressions of political authority, legitimacy, and  
citizenship

Conference participation is open to all scholars and graduate  
students. We especially encourage proposals from varied disciplinary  
and interdisciplinary perspectives and from graduate students. We seek  
to showcase the work of advanced graduate students and junior as well  
as senior scholars.
