Postponement of ISA Congress and Forum
On May 1st, the ISA Assembly of Councils (i.e., the members of Research council & of the National Association Council) has decided to postpone the ISA Congress to June 2023. Consequently, the next ISA Forum will also be delayed by a year to June or July 2025.
The Assembly of Councils also extended RC boards and ISA mandates until the next Congress. More information on the upcoming Congress will come soon.
RC17 Board
Extension of board mandate and new board member
The RC17 board usually serves for a term of four years, from one ISA World Congress until the next one. Because the next World Congress has been postponed from 2022 to 2023, ISA has decided to extend the mandate of the Research Committee boards accordingly. This means that the current board will serve until 2023.
Nevertheless, we have some changes in the composition of the board. Daniel Muzio has left the board. However, we are very happy to announce that Thiago Duarte Pimentel has agreed to fill the spot and serve in the board! Thiago is a full-time researcher and professor in graduate (Master/PhD in Social Sciences) and undergraduate courses (Bachelor in Human Sciences, B. in Tourism) at UFJF, Brazil. He has organized several thematic sessions at the last ISA Forum and he is currently co-editing a Special Issue of the Brazilian theory journal “Teoria e Cultura” on “Collective action, social movements, and organization” that is open for all participants of the RC17 ISA Forum sessions. His public CV is available under: http://lat-tes.cnpq.br/9841188234449467
Activity grants
Possible support by RC17
RC17 can support selected activities by members (e.g., workshops) with up to $500. Informal applications can be addressed to the RC17 board via the Secretary Michael Grothe-Hammer (Michael.grothe-hammer@ntnu.no). The board will then discuss the proposal and issue a decision soon. One central requirement is the thematic connection to RC17 and that some advertising for RC17 takes place at the sponsored event.
