General Call for Papers, Panels, and Roundtables


Sixth Global International Studies Conference
The ‘International’ Around the World: Multiple Voices, Alternative Orders
Buenos Aires, Argentina
15-17 July, 2020
Venue: Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina (UCA)


The World International Studies Committee invites the submission of individual paper, panel, and roundtable proposals.

Based on the vibrant scholarship of the WISC community, our program is organized around forty-two Thematic Sections and one Conference Theme Section (“The ‘International’ Around the World: Multiple Voices, Alternative Orders”). The goal of the sections is to encourage the formation of networks for future collaboration based on individual and collective research agendas.

Before making your submission, please review the whole list of sections. Submissions are to be made to one section and you may indicate a second choice of preference where your proposal would also fit. Section Chairs and the Program Committee will consider the submissions.

Each submission should include the author’s name, email address, academic affiliation, and rank. Regardless of the language of your proposal, make sure to use English in the submission form.
