Narrating World Politics | EISA PEC Standing Section & Network

Last fall, Andrew Palmer (Canterbury Christ Church University) and I started a new network bringing together narrative scholars. Our aim is to inspire conversations and exchanges on narrative as theory and method in world politics and the study of International Relations (broadly understood).

One of the first successes of our collaboration is that we will be hosting a Standing Section at the EISA Pan European Conferences the coming three years: Narrating World Politics.

If you are working on narratives in relation to IR, conflict, peace or cooperation, please consider submitting your abstract. The call for papers for the upcoming PEC in Bologna(!) is now open.

Moreover, as an emergent network we run an email exchange list with information, calls for papers, etc., in relation to work on narratives in world politics. As it stands, we meet every second Friday of the month, 14:00-15:00 GMT / 15:00-16:00 CET, online. Interested in joining this network? Please subscribe here.

EISA – Athens

After Thessaloniki–which was my first ever visit to Greece (I know!)–Athens comes quickly after. A very valuable conference and great opportunity to see new and familiar faces. Much looking forward to this!

EWIS – Thessaloniki

Off to Thessaloniki for my first in person conference/workshop since ISA 2018. I am not even sure I remember the etiquette…

… short update afterwards: It was amazing. Completely different experience than a regular conference. We had time to just have conceptual conversations and discussion. I needed this.

I’ll be joining the IR-crowd at the upcoming International Studies Association (ISA) Annual Convention this week in Toronto, Canada. Trying to combine it with my first year full-teaching Assistant Prof. position it will be a bit of a shorter visit but you can still find me in the following three panels, presenting two papers in the first whilst chairing the last.

… and if I may pick a favourite: I am thoroughly enjoying working on the later paper at the moment, ‘The Politics of Pity‘, which I will present on Friday.
