FYI - for those of you who do research on the Global South. This is a new caucus at ISA.
Regards, Pam The Global South Caucus plans to propose the holding of a workshop (Working Group) at ISA 2012 on the topic, "Teaching, Learning, Researching, and Publishing about the Global South." Issues to be addressed during the workshops include: teaching: the role of innovative technologies, the nuances of the transmission of information, course content and advancement; research: theoretical, epistemological and methodological approaches to dealing with the south, and problems in doing research in the south; publishing: the how to's of getting published in mainstream journals and with well-known publishers. Workshops meet about three times during the convention and usually have about 20-25 participants. The Global South Caucus is dedicated to a balance of experience and apprenticeship. We are sending out this notice to try to ascertain beforehand how many persons would be interested in attending these sessions. We would appreciate it if you could disseminate to your members, asking them to reply if they would like to participate to me: Lisa Ann Richey, Program Chair, GSCIS.
