Every year, the American Graduate School in Paris hosts an international conference organized by graduate students enrolled in its International Relations and Diplomacy programs, with the participation of a faculty advisor.
The Annual AGS Graduate Student Conference is open to graduate students and scholars from around the world, as well as researchers and professionals from think tanks, NGOs, Intergovernmental Organizations, governmental agencies, and research centers.
Through information, debate, and dialogue, this annual conference offers a platform for exchanges of ideas on a broad range of issues and challenges related to international relations. The Annual AGS Graduate Student Conference aims to contribute innovative approaches to the advancement of that field.
2013 Conference:
"Identity and Gender Politics Within International Relations"
18-19th April 2013 in Paris
This year's conference will debate the theme of "Identity and Gender Politics Within International Relations".The aim of the conference is to analyze the impact of identity and gender—often conditioned by class, race, biology and sexuality—within the social and cultural framework of International Relations. It will explore commonalities and intersections between these areas, as well as their impact on interstate and state governance, international conflict, and public awareness.
