This standing section seeks contributions that engage with agendas of research that gravitate around international political sociology as a site of critical explorations of the ‘problem of the international’. In the past two decades, international political sociology has sought to expand critical investigations at the intersection of different disciplinary fields in the social sciences to expand and diversify scholarship in IR. The efforts to continuously push the limits of this intellectual movement have produced a variety of initiatives that have, for the most part, contributed to consolidating its transdisciplinary agenda, connecting scholars and researchers who share a disposition to transgress institutionalised repertoires of analysis and displace questions, methods and styles considered acceptable in the field. Following the exploration of the in-between, the contingent and the multiple in world politics, the section aims to stimulate debate that furthers research programmes focusing on the importance of transversal, boundary traversing phenomena in world politics and the dynamics of fracturing social and political orders.
The section will promote international political sociologies of topics that populate IPS’ research programmes, including migration and other forms of human and non-human circulations and mobility, securitisation, surveillance, resistance and counter-politics, social movements, citizenship, planetary urbanism and global cities, post-truth, temporalities and histories, technologies of government, and critical methodologies and knowledge production. We will also continue to encourage theoretical and empirical work around concepts such as movement, transversality, becoming, critique, practice, atmospheres, affects, the everyday, assemblages, borders, inequality, and the planetary.
Given the limited panel slots, we might not be able to accept all panels of double panel submissions on the same topic.
