IPSA World Congress to Feature Café Sessions for Students and Early-Career Scholars

The 2023 IPSA World Congress in Buenos Aires will offer two special sessions for students and early-career scholars interested in learning more about the expectations and challenges inherent in an academic career.

Early-Career Mentoring Café
17 July, 08:00
Room: SJ1 108

The “Early-Career” Mentoring Café session will give delegates the opportunity to discuss various aspects of a career in academia with senior colleagues. Participants will learn more about how to secure research funding, manage grants, publish and teach. The session will be chaired by IPSA Vice President Hasret Dikici Bilgin and will feature IPSA President-Elect Pablo Oñate, and IPSA Executive members Irasema Coronado and Keiichi Kubo. This session will give early-career academics a chance to interact with senior scholars and mentors, who will share their insights and advice on how to succeed in academia and take questions from participants. Coffee will be served, and participants will be able to network in a fast-paced format at the café event.

IPSR Editors’ Café
18 July, 12:45 
Room: SJ2 236

The Editors’ Café session will allow IPSA World Congress participants to meet and talk with the co-editors of IPSA’s flagship journal, the International Political Science Review. Co-editors Theresa Reidy, Daniel Stockemer and Annika Hinze will be available to advise students and early-career scholars alike on a range of topics, not least the academic publishing process. The café session is a golden opportunity for early-career scholars to meet with editors and gain a better understanding of the requirements for beginning a career in academia and beyond. It also gives participants a chance to ask any questions they might have.
