Deadline: Withdrawal Deadline

Today is the last day to withdraw from the ISA 2011 Annual Convention without penalty and with a refund. No refunds will be processed after this date. Please see the Dates & Deadlines page of the convention website for additional deadlines.

Participant Registration Deadline

Today is the participant registration deadline for the 2011 Annual Convention. What does this mean? It means that if you have been accepted as a participant (as a panel chair, discussant, paper presenter or poster presenter), you should register today to remain on the program. This deadline is intended to ensure that everyone who has been accepted has confirmed their participation and that those who cannot attend allow us to accept those on the wait-list. Many worthy proposals were declined due to space limitations and we would like to accommodate as many of those as possible. Please see the annual convention registration website for more information. Thank you.

Working Group Registration Begins

ISA Working Groups provide a forum for conference attendees to discuss some of the most thought-provoking issues in their sections as well as their own research through an extended and focused discussion. It is thought that such dialogue will stimulate new research questions and project ideas, and may contribute to development of new communities of scholars. Online registration for Working Groups will begin at 10am PST on Monday, September 27, 2010 here. Historically, working groups fill up quickly. Attendance is free and is on a first-come, first-served basis. Each Working Group is limited to approximately 20-25 participants. Participants will be notified of their acceptance via email.

Travel Grant Deadline Reminder

The travel grant application process for the ISA 2011 Annual Convention end tomorrow. The ISA travel grant program has been created to allow junior scholars and senior graduate students some assistance to enable them to attend conferences that would otherwise be out of reach. Therefore, all of these grants will be awarded to junior scholars and senior graduate students. There is only a relatively small budget set aside for this travel grant. Any grants awarded are considered to be "seed" support of a limited amount and will only assist in funding a limited part of the entire cost of attendance. Travel grants are available only for ISA members. If you are not an ISA member you may still apply, your membership fee will be deducted from your grant.You may use the MyISA system to apply. Applications are due by September 9, 2010. The online application system will close at 12 PM PST. Applicants will be notified about their award status on Oct. 11th. Please see the grant guidelines for more information.
