Plenary Programme announced!

We are delighted to announce that the programme of plenary sessions for Gregynog Ideas Lab III has been finalised. We will have Guest Professor Roundtables on Time and the Event; Time and Subjectivity; The State of Violence;  and  Poststructuralism, Postcolonialism and Feminism. In the final session of the week, Generation and Critique, Mick Dillon, Mike Shapiro and Rob Walker reflect on the past 20-30 years of critical work in International Relations, and where we go from here. Full details of all these sessions, and the Practical Workshops (on Storytelling and/as Method;  Book and Journal Publishing; and Critique and Careers) are available by clicking on the link on the right. The full details of our Guest Professor Seminars, the highlight of the school, are also available on the right, as are a draft Schedule and brief bios of all our Guest Professors.

At present we have ten places remaining: we already have bookings from an amazing and international group of graduate students and early career faculty working on a wide range of topics (including: identity, the body, discourse, power, security apparatuses, historiography, time, 'freedom', cybersecurity, aesthetics, sovereignty, critical theory, memory, meaning production, feminist IPE, post-conflict interventions, development, affect, materiality, peacekeeping, narrative, language and discursive practice, war photography, militarism, risk, finance and anti-colonial thought).

Booking forms can be downloaded from the links on the right and should be returned, with payment, to gregynogideaslab@gmail.com. If you have any queries or need help with your booking, or want to make sure places are still available before you send in your form, please contact Yvonne Rinkart on the same email.

We look forward to seeing you in the summer!

Worldwide interest in Ideas Lab III

The 2014 Ideas Lab is filling up: we already have bookings from eight countries spread across four continents, with people working on a wide range of topics, including, for example: identity, the body, discourse, power, security apparatuses, historiography, time, 'freedom', cybersecurity, aesthetics, sovereignty, critical theory, meaning production, feminist IPE, post-conflict interventions, development, affect, materiality, peacekeeping, language and discursive practice, war photography, militarism, risk, finance and anti-colonial thought. We will have a fascinating group of participants, as in previous years.  

The programme of plenary sessions is being prepared as we speak, with the interests of our participants in mind. More details will be available soon, as will details of the three workshops, which are likely to include one on how to approach book publishers and journal editors. We are also planning a session on telling stories as a research methodology in IR.

We are accepting bookings on a first come, first served basis, and you are welcome to contact us to confirm that there are still places available before sending in your form.  Booking forms can be downloaded by clicking on the links on the right and should be returned, with payment, to gregynogideaslab@gmail.com.
