International Relations staff win prestigious workshop grant

International Relations academics Dr. Alena Drieschova and Dr. Christian Bueger have recently won a prestigious workshop grant funded by the International Studies Association (ISA). The grant is awarded in collaboration with Professor Ted Hopf of the National University of Singapore.

The grant will provide funding for a workshop entitled “Mapping International Practices: Concepts, Debates, and Borders of International Practice Theory” and will bring together researchers from North America, Europe and Asia to discuss the state of the practice turn in international relations. Focussing on the concepts that provide the shared vocabulary of practice theory, the workshop will discuss the future of practice theorising in the discipline and will take place on Tuesday 21 February 2017 at the Hilton Hotel Baltimore, USA, preceding the 2017 Annual Convention of the ISA.
