INTERNATIONAL STUDIES PERSPECTIVES
A Journal of the International Studies Association

• Publishing articles on teaching international studies. With the increased attention paid to innovative teaching at colleges and universities around the world, ISP provides an outlet for high quality scholarship on international studies pedagogy.  Articles for this section might include ones on various active learning approaches, innovations in teaching traditional topics, or understanding how to assess student learning.   This is by no means a complete list of possible topics and we welcome submissions on all aspects of international student pedagogy.
• Publishing articles on applied international studies work. This section is aimed at reaching out to practitioners in the field and engaging them in the current academic debates, increasing our understanding of how policy is and can be informed by scholarly research, and at providing an outlet for policy-relevant research in the field by international studies scholars.
• Publishing articles on visions of the discipline. These articles provide a forum for understanding and investigating current trends in research, developments in fields other than political science, hot topics, and new approaches to international studies.
• Publishing articles and items about the international studies profession. Material in this section might include articles on such issues as publishing in international studies, approaches to giving job talks and other topics related to professional development.  ISP will also publish some professional news items such as calls for papers, announcements about summer institutes, and fellowship and grant annoucements.  Prospective news items should be submitted in electronic form if at all possible.
• Pieces on Our Craft.  In each issue, ISP publishes one short article of about 750 words on the inside back cover.  The focus of this section is to create a scholarly outlet for op-ed pieces aimed at timely topics within the areas of teaching international studies, applied international studies work, visions of the discipline, and issues relating to the international relations profession.
