In addition to its participation in IPSA World Congress with panels and roundtables, RC33 has organized, co-organized or supported several events  

 

RC33 Workshop 
Studying Political Scientists: An Open & Global Workshop on Methodology

Online, 9 December 2023

The workshop explored methodological issues pertaining to research on political scientists per se (their trajectories, professional situations, patterns of publication, working conditions, etc.). Short presentations and following collective discussion aimed at opening a space for engaging with challenges, contributions and/or proposals around how to study political scientists today.

Agenda and Recording of the discussions.

The event served as basis for further research which led to a collective volume to be published in 2026.

 

Special roundtable and Guided tour Baldosas por la memoria

Buenos Aires, 2023

At the IPSA World Congress 2023 (Buenos Aires), RC33 organized the special session Memory Activisms: An Opportunity to Re-envision Politics and Political Science, which focused on Baldosas por la memoria, an initiative developed by the organization Barrios X Memoria y Justicia. Baldosas are memorial paving stones decorated with colors and short descriptions. Produced continuously since 2006 according to an informally established protocol, they memorialize “the disappeared” and others murdered under the state terrorism practiced by the former Argentinian dictatorship (1976-1983). 

Following the roundtable, participants were invited to join a special guided walking tour with the activists to view the baldosas. Accompanied by local activists Marisa Munczek, Gustavo Esteban Sales and bilingual translators, participants visited baldosas in situ in the nearby area of the Congress site.

The roundtable and the guided tour were central events for the 2023 IPSA World Congress.

Watch here: the official recording of the special roundtable.
