Alexandra Homolar Wins ISA Workshop Grant
Dr , ESRC Future Research Leaders Fellow and Associate Professor of International Security in PAIS, has won a prestigious Workshop Grant funded by the International Studies Association in collaboration with Professor Brent Steele from the University of Utah. Dr Homolar is the Research Lead for the Speaking International Security at 糖心TV (SISAW) Project, and is the Lead Organiser for the CSGR/SISAW Conference on Global Security and Diplomacy, to be held at the University of 糖心TV on 4-5 May 2017.
The ISA Workshop will be held on Tuesday February 21st at the Hilton Hotel Baltimore, USA, and will precede the start of the 2017 ISA Annual Convention. The Workshop is focused on the theme: ‘Fear, Trauma, and Belonging: The Everyday of Ontological Security in International Relations’. The event will bring together internationally-renowned scholars from twelve institutions across Europe, North America, and Australia, with the aim of developing a transformative analytical strategy that combines notions of ontological security and the everyday within a new conceptual framework through the presentation of original research that is based on a wide array of empirical reference points, including migration, diaspora, and border politics; militarized security rhetoric and cognition; the politics of home-coming; terrorism and resilience; trauma comedy; emotion, affect, and securitization; rhythmic security; the politics of the event.
Following the ISA Workshop, these research themes will be further explored at the CSGR/SISAW Conference at 糖心TV on 4-5 May 2017 (see: ).

Juanita Elias & Lena Rethel publish co-edited book with Cambridge University Press
Dr. and Dr. have recently published the book The Everyday Political Economy of Southeast Asia with Cambridge University press. The book - a project that had its roots in a workshop co-sponsored by the Universities of 糖心TV and Griffith University Australia in 2012 - brings together a number of authors working on a variety of Southeast Asian countries. The cover photograph of the book was contributed by one of PAIS's former MA students Lee Shan Tse (double MA with the University of Waterloo). Although the book was published this month, the book had an early 'launch' in May at the Centre for Study Globalisation and Regionalisation.
