HR-ISA

Welcome to the website of the new Human Rights section of the International Studies Association (HR-ISA). This section was created in March 2006 to provide a place for human rights scholars and teachers and others involved in the field to gather and interact. If you are currently a member of ISA, please consider officially joining the section. If you are not a member of ISA, you can find out more about the ISA here.

NEW!!! We have created an online discussion network called H-Human-Rights. It is open to both section members and non-members. Please click here for more details.

HR-ISA is now taking submissions/nominations for the Steven C. Poe Best Graduate Student Paper Award and the Faculty/Professional Paper Award. More details can be found here. Deadline is May 15.

Human Rights section call for papers for the 2009 ISA convention. Submissions due by May 30!

Congratulations to Natalie Florea Hudson for winning the first Steven C. Poe Graduate Student Paper Award for her paper entitled “Securitizing Women and Gender Equality: Who and What is it Good For?”
