Dr. M. Koinova Wins International Studies Association Workshop Grant
Dr. Maria Koinova, Reader in International Relations at PAIS and Principal Investigator of the ERC Starting Grant “Diasporas and Contested Sovereignty,” together with Gerasimos Tsourapas (SOAS) won a highly competitive International Studies Association venture research workshop grant (10,310 USD).
The workshop is titled “Unpacking the Sending States: Regimes, Institutions, and Non-state Actors in Emigration and Diaspora Politics.” It will gather fifteen scholars from prestigious universities in Europe and the US to discuss how regimes, institutions and non-state actors shape sending states’ extraterritorial engagement with migrant populations abroad. The workshop will take place at the ISA convention in Atlanta in March 2016, and a small follow-up workshop will be conducted at Warwick University in the fall of 2016. Edited special journal issues are envisaged as a result of this workshop.
