Dear Members:
First, as we return from the summer vacation, we wish to apologize for the delay in sending you the summer newsletter. A newsletter combination of summer and fall will be sent to you shortly.
Second, we wish to thank all of you who have submitted panel and paper proposals to ISA 2016 for our sponsorship. During the summer, we worked on the program (thank you, Nanette, Program Chair) and the preliminary program, which was recently sent to us for review, looks very broad and inclusive. More on the program as time goes on.
Third, we are still working on the venue for the Third Global South International Studies Conference and will be sending out information as soon as we can.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTINGUISHED HONOREE: ATTENTION EVERYONE.
As you know, each year the Global South Caucus has honored a distinguished scholar at a luncheon held during the annual convention.
In this we respect geographical rotation. During our first year the honoree was Professor Ali Mazrui (Africa); second year: Dr. Jomo Sundaram (Asia); third year: Professor Arlene B. Tickner (Latin America); and in 2015 Professor Bahgat Korany (North Africa/Middle East). For 2016 the honor must go to an Asian scholar. (Although Prof. Korany's scholarship spanned the Africa and Middle East region, normally the Middle East will be included in the generic "Asia.")
Even though the Executive Committee makes the final decision, we like to encourage member input into the selection process as indeed in all our operations. If you wish to nominate someone, please send your choice to: jbraveboy-wagner@gc.cuny.edu by OCTOBER 3.We will then offer all members the chance to comment on the nominees by October 15th, after which the EXCOM will make the final selection.
