Winter/spring 2014 Newsletter/Toronto/Honoree Luncheon



The Global South Caucus’s newsletter for winter-spring is out and will be sent to members by ISA HQ if it has not already arrived.  Please take a few moments to check out the panels we are sponsoring/co-sponsoring for Toronto, and to print out a convenient summary we have included for you to carry around.  Please try to attend the panels and support our members.  As you know, ISA is somewhat notorious for the small audiences. Please also note that we will have our annual luncheon on Friday 28, at which time we are pleased to honor Dr. Arlene B. Tickner. Please contact the Chair by March 15th if you would like to attend. The information on our luncheon (at the University of Toronto) is not in the online program but will be carried as an addendum. 
In addition the newsletter contains information on the upcoming FLACSO meeting and the second GSCIS conference tentatively carded for Bangkok in January 2015. Finally (not in the newsletter), we will hold elections for a few slots on our EXCOM so please see the blog for that soon. See you in Toronto and thanks for your support.
