International Relations as a Social Science (IRSS)
To join a working group you must first join BISA.
This working group brings together scholars and students interested in pushing the boundaries of the discipline and de-centring ourselves from the way we routinely do, think and speak IR. We are a ‘transversal’ group that aims to be pluralistic and to foster fruitful dialogue with participants from all areas of international studies. IRSS provides a forum for our members to engage such questions through roundtables, workshops and research destabilising and building bridges across IR spectrums.
