Call for Nominations: SWIPE Mentor Award

The International Political Economy Section of ISA invites nominations for the SWIPE Mentor Award recognizing excellent mentoring in the field of international political economy. The Society for Women in International Political Economy (SWIPE) created the award in 1997 to pay tribute to women and men who have invested in the professional success of women in the IPE field. Recipients have included scholars, an academic press editor, and deans. In 2009, with the view that many of its original goals had been reached and that other organizations were addressing its concerns, SWIPE disbanded. The award is now administered by the International Political Economy Section of ISA. Nominations must include the nominee's current c.v. and a letter (no more than 2 pages) describing how the nominee has mentored women in IPE. Nominations may come from any member of ISA and should be sent by e-mail to the Committee Chair, Kathleen J. Hancock at khancock@mines.edu. The deadline for nominations is July 15, 2011. Please see the award website for additional information.
