Please consider putting in a round-table, paper, or panel submission for the 2014 International Studies Association -Midwest Conference, to be held November 7th through the 9th at the Hilton-Ballpark in St. Louis.  The deadline for proposals is July 1st.

In my opinion, ISA-Midwest is the most productive and friendliest conference I attend all year.  Unlike other conferences, ISA-Midwest has a plethora of formal and informal opportunities to talk to some of the best scholars in the field and hear their advice both on scholarly work and on professional development.  I am encouraging all my graduate students to attend!  I especially would like to receive interdisciplinary and practitioner-based proposals.

We’re using ISA’s submission software for the first time this year when planning the conference – the process does require you to make a free account with ISA.  The call for papers is here:  https://www.isanet.org/Conferences/MidwestStLouis2014.aspx  Please feel free to send me an email (murdiea@missouri.edu) if I can help in any way with your submission.

    Keep telling yourself this as the Ukrainian armed forces continue to accomplish nothing but the expenditure of firepower and fail utterly to accomplish any decisive political objective
