As we count down to #ISA2027 next March, we’re highlighting Atlanta’s landmarks - starting with the MLK National Historical Park. A space of remembrance, learning, and global significance. #Atlanta #MLK
The outside of the MLK National Historic Park visitor center. A modern red-brick building with a tall glass-front entrance and a central tower topped by a cross, flanked by trees and picnic tables in a sunny courtyard under a bright blue sky.

Winner
Susan Strange Best Book Prize 2026
Patricia Owens - Erased: A History of International Thought Without Men (Princeton University Press, 2025).
"Winning the Susan Strange Prize for Erased is both deeply moving and profoundly affirming, not least because the prize bears the name of a scholar who so powerfully changed how we think about international relations. I hope the recognition helps the book reach a wider audience and strengthens its central argument: that the entire field looks very different when the women long written out of it are restored to view."
