BlueSky Workshop: Further Internationalizing ICA

Session Submission Type: Meeting

Abstract

Following the 2014 bylaw change, ICA has assigned new roles to the Regional Board Members-at-Large; most divisions and interest groups have selected their International Liaisons. A new system of internationalization is taking shape with the goal of further enhancing ICA's global impact. But what exactly does internationalization mean -- for ICA, for the divisions and interest groups, and for the scholarship of ICA members? What is more important -- geographical diversity, epistemological pluralism, collaboration across sub-fields of research? How to measure it? What is to be done, by whom, under what specific organizational structures? This BlueSky Workshop shall address these key questions and open up space for more in-depth discussion among ICA leadership, the newly appointed international liaisons, and all colleagues sharing an interest in further internationalizing ICA.

Workshop is open to any conference participant, with no prior registration needed.
