Innovative Panels at ISA Annual Meetings

In 2008, in response to requests from our members, ISA launched a series of “innovative panels” at our annual conference.  Innovative panels represent unique forums for participants to dialogue, network, and learn in a format distinct from the traditional panel session. 

The innovative panel sessions are as unique and diverse as the ISA membership.  To learn more about these panels, contact Andrea K. Gerlak, Director of Academic Development at isa@u.arizona.edu

At the 2009 annual meeting, ISA sponsored eleven innovative panels representing sections like Feminist Theory and Gender Studies, Environmental Studies, and Intelligence Studies, to name a few.  Please see the full list of innovative panels sponsored at the ISA 2009 annual meeting below.
