Sousa, Helena

I’ll be pleased and honoured to serve for a second mandate as elected member of the International Council. In 2016, I received your confidence for a four year period, after being member of the International Council as representative of the Political Economy Section, a vibrant Section of the association on which I have served as Vice-Chair (2004-2010) and as Chair (2010-2014). With the hard work of the Section colleagues, we have launched ‘The Political Economy Journal’ of the IAMCR in 2013.

I have been a member of the IAMCR for 27 years, since the Dublin Conference of 1993. In 2010, I have co-chaired, with Manuel Pinto, the organization of the IAMCR Conference at the University of Minho, Braga. Over the years, I have served the association in various Task Forces, Prize Committees and Editorial/Review Committees.

More recently, in 2018 I was appointed Chair of the Membership Committee, and in  2019, I received the IAMCR Distinguished Contribution Award during the IAMCR's conference in Madrid. If elected, I’ll do my very best to continuing serving this extraordinary association, being well aware of our common achievements and challenges.
