Trust in International Relations
BISA-PGN Postgraduate Conference, 19 June 2013, Birmingham
The
Postgraduate Network of the British International Studies Association
welcomes papers for its first annual Postgraduate Conference held in
Birmingham on 19 June 2013.
The conference is organised
around the theme of trust in International Relations, which is a flourishing
theme in recent IR scholarship. How do we conceptualise trust in our own
research? Is it an explicit or implicit concept? Furthermore, does it invoke
cognitive mechanisms or is it more a rhetorical device? How can it be
approached from realist, constructivist, liberal or poststructuralist
perspectives?
We
invite paper proposals on any topic related to the conference theme, as
well as on other topics within the discipline. Papers can have a
theoretical or empirical focus. We are open to interdisciplinary,
international, comparative, and cultural perspectives. There is a prize
for the best conference paper.
In
addition to thematic panels, there will be open research skills
sessions on innovative teaching and PhD advice as well as open and
closed sessions with leading journal editors. Only a limited number of
papers can be accommodated in the closed sessions, so if you would like
your paper to be considered for a closed session with journal editors,
please indicate this in your proposla. This is a rare opportunity to
have your paper reviewed and commented by an established figure in
academic publishing.
This is an opportunity for
postgraduate students to share their research, meet with leading journal
editors, learn valuable research skills, and network with other PhD researchers
in a friendly and encouraging environment. There will be a keynote speech and a
drinks reception.
Please email your paper abstract of no more than 300
words together with a short bio and an indication whether you would like to
have your paper considered for the journal editor workshop to Johanna Nykänen:
J.T.Nykanen@warwick.ac.uk by 1 February 2013.
Presenters will be notified by the end of February 2013.
There will be a limited number of travel stipends available to
presenters.
