Conversations in Ethics & World Politics: A newsletter of the BISA Ethics & World Politics Working Group (new deadline for submissions)
Dear colleagues,
We hope this message finds you well.
As the new convening team of the BISA Ethics & World Politics Working Group, we are delighted to introduce a new initiative: Conversations in Ethics & World Politics, a bi-monthly newsletter designed as a shared space for dialogue, collaboration, and exchange across our community.
Rather than a top-down publication, this newsletter is intended as a collective platform, a space where members of the Working Group and wider networks can share ideas, work in progress, teaching practices, and reflections on the ethical dimensions of world politics.
Why a newsletter?
The Ethics & World Politics Working Group brings together a diverse and interdisciplinary community. This newsletter aims to:
• Create a space for ongoing dialogue beyond conferences and events
• Showcase emerging and established research in accessible formats
• Support early-career scholars and postgraduate researchers
• Foster connections across subfields, including global health, migration, political theory, and beyond.
We are particularly keen for this to be a space where ideas can be shared at different stages of development; not only as finished outputs, but also as work in progress, reflections, and provocations.
Newsletter Sections
- Research Spotlights/ Thinking Pieces: Short summaries of recent or ongoing research; reflections on recent developments in world politics.
- Conferences, Events & Workshops.
- Teaching & Pedagogy: Innovative teaching approaches or reflections on your pedagogical practice.
- Reading Recommendations: Academic works, blogposts, reports or anything else you find useful for our community.
- Publication announcements.
- Job and fellowship announcements.
Call for Contributions
We warmly invite contributions from academics at all career stages. Submissions can be formal or informal in tone, and we welcome a range of formats for all newsletter sections.
Our editorial approach will be light-touch and supportive, with the aim of making the newsletter an accessible and inclusive space for all.
