Dear Working Group Members,
As we prepare for the 2013 International Studies Association Conference, you might want to begin thinking about your plans for 2014 panels/papers - if you want us to nominate you, and to thereby avoid the process of selection by section chairs.
Every year, the ISA gives international partner organisations like BISA the chance to nominate a number of panels. BISA then passes this opportunity on to the working groups via a competition. BUT THE DEADLINES FOR THIS COME VERY EARLY. Usually the call for working group nominations arrives as soon as we arrive back on the plane from the previous ISA conference. And I'm only exaggerating slightly!
So, before you leave for ISA 2013, it might be wise to begin thinking about what you want to do for ISA 2014. We'll send the BISA call around as soon as it arrives, but from experience we're expecting it shortly after the conclusion of ISA 2013 (so early-mid April).
Best wishes,
Charlotte
