Dear Colleagues,

Dr. Consuelo Thiers (The University of Edinburgh) and I are organising a workshop for the upcoming BISA-ISA Workshop in Newcastle, UK. Our workshop is titled “Personality in Foreign Policy” and will take place from 10–12 October 2025.

The deadline for applications is 13 June, so if you are interested, it would be wonderful if you could submit a paper proposal. You can apply using the following linkhttps://www.isanet.org/Conferences/BISA-ISA-Newcastle-2025/Call.

We hope to see you in Newcastle in a few months — and please feel free to spread the word to anyone who might be interested or let us know if you have any questions.

Best wishes,
Consuelo Thiers, The University of Edinburgh, UK
Baris Kesgin, Elon University, USA
