ISA West would like to remind you that the deadline to submit papers, panels and roundtables for the September 26 & 27 conference in Pasadena, California, is this June 7th.

It will be a special conference this year, as ISA West is very proud to announce the creation of the Ole R.  Holsti Distinguished Scholar Award. The Ole R. Holsti Distinguished Scholar Award was established to recognize Ole R. Holsti for his extraordinary role within the ISA West region and his contributions to the international studies community as a whole. The Ole R. Holsti Distinguished Scholar will have an exceptional record of scholarship in international studies, a distinguished record of teaching and mentorship, as well as service to the International Studies Association West region. At this year’s conference, Dr. Holsti will launch the award with the keynote speech at our Saturday luncheon. The nominations for the first recipient will take this fall with the first award presented at ISA West 2015.

The ISA, the ISA President, and the GSCIS have for some time been monitoring the political situation in Thailand and, as a precaution, have been exploring alternative sites in case the conference needs to be moved. In view of the current military crackdown, which now includes the detention of politicians, scholars, and writers, we are urgently reviewing these alternative sites, and will be informing the membership of any venue changes in due course, certainly well before the registration deadlines. Meanwhile, we wish to assure the ISA membership that the conference — focused as it is on the some of the most important issues and ideas about an inclusive IR — will be held as planned in January. We are convinced that this will be a seminal and very productive event for the GSCIS and the ISA, and we look forward to the traditional fruitful and free exchange of academic ideas at GSCIS 2015.
