Dear Conference Participant,
Welcome to BISA Postgraduate Network’s 3rd Annual Conference. This conference has
been made possible with the support of the BISA and King’s College, London. We are
pleased to have attracted scholars engaged in a wide range of research on international
studies and we hope that this conference will provide you not just with an opportunity to
receive feedback on your work today, but an opportunity to move your work forward as part
of this network of postgraduate scholars.
We are delighted to have such an engaging selection of papers of speakers. Our keynote
address by Professor Nicola Phillips, University of Sheffield addresses ‘Worlds of Inequality’
in all of its manifestations in international politics. We are also pleased to have Dr Martin
Coward, University of Newcastle and Editor of Politics joining us to take part in a question
and answer session on the ever important topic of how as postgraduate scholars we should
go about getting our research published.
We would also like to encourage you to get involved with the BISAPGN:


nominations for the positions of committee member and Vice Chair for 2015/16. Full

Get involved with the BISA Postgraduate Network! Alongside our annual
conference, we run a first year PhD workshop, annual funding competition to support

Speaker’s Biographies
Dr Martin Coward
Senior Lecturer in International Politics, University of Newcastle
and Co-Editor Politics
I work at the intersection of International Political Theory and Security Studies and am
particularly concerned with questions of war, violence, (in)security, identity, and community .
To date my research has focused on the conceptual understanding of (in)security and
organised violence in an urban context, particularly the ‘urbanisation of security’, attacks on
critical infrastructure and urbicide. My current research addresses the political and ethical
entailments of network thinking, particularly insofar as it legitimates various forms of
violence. My work is informed by post-structuralist international theory and continental
philosophy (especially the work of Martin Heidegger, Jean-Luc Nancy and William Connolly).
From January to March 2015 I will be a Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Study, Durham
University (https://www.dur.ac.uk/ias/fellows/iasfellows/1415/coward/)
In May 2015 I will be a visiting scholar at The University of Groningen
(http://www.rug.nl/research/icog/research/research-centres/htir/visiting-scholars)

Funding Competition
As a part of our mandate to support and encourage intellectual advancement and
networking opportunities for postgraduates we had £2000 available to assist with the
cost of organising and running two high-caliber postgraduate-focused events. This
year’s successful bids came from the Archbishop Desmond Tutu Centre for War and
Peace Studies at Liverpool Hope University, and a joint submission from the
University of York and University College London.
Look out for calls for next year’s funding competition in autumn 2015.
Women in Peace and Conflict - Liverpool Hope University
This event took place on the 4th of March, marking International Women’s Day, and
was the first “Women in Peace and Conflict” conference to be held in Liverpool. On
the day there were over eighty participants, with multiple opportunities for
postgraduate presentation and networking, including panels and a poster session.
The conference was highlighted in CNN’s online feature “10 International Women’s
Day events you’d be crazy to miss” , and the keynote address - “Sowing trust in
minefields: Women’s Peace’s Activism in Post War Bosnia and Herzegovnia”, was
given by Dr Julianne Funk of the University of Zurich. BISA PGN funding helped to
provide postgraduate travel bursaries, and facilitated the involvement of the Migrant
Arts Mutual Aid, who performed on the day providing - as conference organiser
Susan Forde pointed out - an interesting and engaging platform for women’s voices
to be heard. The full conference report is available to download on the centre
website. Congratulations to Susan and the centre on a fantastic event.
Representation of Ethnic Minorities; Perspectives and Challenges – York/UCL
This workshop will take place at the University of York on the 15th May. It aims to
bring together both theoretical and empirical scholars working in the field of minority
representation (ethnic minorities, religious minorities, racial minorities, migrants) and
intersectionality, and the programme show-casts a fascinating and diverse selection
of postgraduate and other research in this field. The keynote speaker will be
Professor Michael Saward of the University of Warwick, who will discuss “Liminal
Representation”. More information can be found on the event blog. BISA PGN
wishes the organisers the best of luck with what promises to be an excellent
workshop.
‘Thriving and not just surviving’ - First Year PhD Workshop
November 7th 2014 saw the School of Politics and International Studies at the
University of Leeds host our second annual PhD welcome event. During this friendly,
informal and peer led event our forty-five attendees discussed making the most of
your PhD experience and practical advice on how to successfully live with a PhD
rather than simply for living for it. More details are available on our website.
