Call for Papers: Oceanic Conference on International Studies

The University of Auckland and Victoria University of Wellington are pleased to jointly host the fourth Oceanic Conference on International Studies in Auckland, New Zealand from 30 June - 2 July 2010. The organising committee has issued a call for papers, with proposals due 30 November 2009. OCIS IV will be an open, multidisciplinary conference. Participants are invited to submit panel, roundtable or paper proposals presenting original research on any topic in International Studies. Participation by scholars outside of Australia and New Zealand is particularly welcome and the organisers strongly encourage proposals from emerging scholars and postgraduate students.

OCIS is an initiative to facilitate the coming together of the growing community of international studies researchers in Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific and beyond. The inaugural OCIS conference was held at the Australian National University in 2004 and it has subsequently been hosted by the University of Melbourne (2006) and the University of Queensland (2008).
