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.
