ISA Working Groups

The International Communications Section and Human Rights Section invite you to participate in a working group at our annual convention in New Orleans in 2010. By participating in a working group, conference attendees discuss the most thought-provoking issues in their sections as well as their own research through an extended and focused discussion.  Such dialogue will stimulate new research questions and project ideas, and may contribute to development of new communities of scholars. Participants meet within their working group on three separate occasions during the conference. The first meeting will occur in advance of the start of the panels and provides an opportunity for participants to create a framework to guide their interactions. Working group participants will then also meet towards the middle of the scheduled conference and again towards the end of the conference. Participants commit to attend a small group of related panels throughout the course of the meeting to discuss during their group meetings. Please see the ISA Working Groups website for more information. You may register online here. Participation in each group is limited and is on a first come, first served basis.
