Voices: The EISA Podcast

EISA

Voices: The EISA Podcast is the official broadcast of EISA, the European International Studies Association. This space for cutting-edge research in the discipline of International Relations is the audible companion to EISA. Apart from our flagship conference, the EISA organises a range of innovative events and activities for scholars and students working in the field of International Studies. This podcast sets the stage for deeper insights into award-winning papers, books and theses, as much as it provides a room for the critical engagement with key concepts in political and sociological thought. Voices: The EISA Podcast traces how these concepts have been taken up in the discipline of IR. It interrogates their emergence, their gendered and racialized omissions, and their relevance to current debates and analyses. Through our erudite interview guests, a wide range of critical reading, and reflections on our everyday experiences, Voices: The EISA Podcast helps to think through core IR concepts.

In Coversation with Iosif Kovras
In this episode, we are joined by Iosif Kovras, winner of the 2024 EISA Best Article in the European Journal of International Relations (EJIR) Award, who explores the transformative role of forensic technologies in reshaping how societies confront their violent pasts. Iosif Kovras, an Associate Professor in the Department of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Cyprus, and a leading voice in the fields of comparative transitional justice and human rights, focuses on questions of accountability, transitional justice, and the pursuit of truth in post-conflict settings. His current research explores the logic of the crime of disappearances in repressive and (post)conflict settings and is funded by a European Research Council Consolidator Grant. His extensive research agenda spans policies of accountability in post-conflict societies, the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, and the complexities of enforced disappearances in repressive and conflict-ridden contexts. His forthcoming book, Accountability after Economic Crisis (Oxford University Press), examines how nations tackled the fallout of the 2008 financial meltdown through prosecutions, inquiries, and public apologies. Tune in to learn about groundbreaking insights from Kovras’s research on forensic technologies’ role in transnational justice mechanisms, how these technologies are driving societal reckoning, and the challenges of achieving justice and recognition.
