-Caveat Lector- <http://www.yale.edu/development/yaletoday/vol4_no2/talbott.html> Strobe Talbott to Head New Globalization Initiative In a move to strengthen its standing as an international leader for higher education, Yale has announced that Strobe Talbott '68, Deputy Secretary of State and a key architect of U.S. foreign policy, will direct the new Yale Center for the Study of Globalization. The University will also create a new fellowship program for emerging leaders of other countries, plus three new chairs in international studies. Talbott, a former trustee of the University, will begin work in July 2001 as director of the new Center and as professor of international relations. "I'm coming home to a community that has always upheld the highest intellectual standards while actively engaging in the affairs of the world," said Talbott. "That tradition makes Yale a natural leader in the quest to understand, explain, and shape the forces that are changing our lives and defining our era." Promoting Global Scholarship The Center for the Study of Globalization will encourage research, writing, and teaching on globalization, drawing on Yale faculty and visiting scholars and practitioners of international affairs. The Center will also engage in "Track II diplomacy," privately sponsored efforts to promote dialogue between opposing sides in crises and disputes. The new program is funded in part by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. The Center for the Study of Globalization, as well as the fellowship program, will be housed in Yale's newly renovated Davies Mansion. Innovate Program for Leaders To extend Yale's mission of educating leaders, the World Fellows Program will engage promising young leaders from around the world in a semester of study focused on global problems. Participants will come from government, law, and business, as well as academe, religious bodies, and non-governmental organizations. The executive director of the program will be Brooke Shearer, currently conducting international programs for the U.S. National Park Service. Daniel C. Esty, Deputy Dean of the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, will be faculty supervisor. Interdisciplinary Perspectives To support Yale's expanded commitment to international students and programs, President Richard C. Levin announced three new senior professorships in international studies. Yale already has established the first; Levin will seek donor support to endow the remaining two. The University allocated the positions to the Yale Center for International and Area Studies, which will seek scholars whose interests span at least two of Yale�s academic departments or professional schools. "The solutions to many of our most important global problems require knowledge that spans two or more disciplines, yet academic departments tend to favor specialists," Levin said. ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
