Abstract

The 2023 IPSA World Congress in Buenos Aires showcased the transformative power of inclusiveness in academic conferences. While online gatherings have broadened access, this in-person event underscored the need for diversity and accessibility. Financial, visa, and language barriers often exclude students, scholars from the Global South, and marginalized voices. To address this, academic associations should actively involve students, provide travel support, and select conference locations thoughtfully. The IPSA Congress exemplified this approach, enabling students to organize panels and aiding Global South scholars through grants and regional collaborations. Such initiatives enhance the discipline's relevance, enriching cross-cultural dialogues and fostering equitable representation in political science.

振兴会议

2023年在布宜诺斯艾利斯举行的IPSA世界大会展示了学术会议中包容性的变革力量。虽然在线聚会扩大了访问范围，但这次面对面的活动强调了多样性和可访问性的必要性。经济、签证和语言障碍往往将来自全球南方的学生、学者和边缘化的声音排除在外。为了解决这个问题，学术协会应该积极地让学生参与，提供旅行支持，并精心选择会议地点。IPSA大会体现了这种方法，使学生能够组织小组讨论，并通过赠款和区域合作帮助全球南方的学者。这些举措增强了学科的相关性，丰富了跨文化对话，促进了政治学的公平代表性。
