Dear GEPED colleagues, As you put the finishing touches on those syllabi for the fall, I wanted to flag some short-form video resources that you might consider including as supplements to reading assignments or lectures. At the Wilson Center's Environmental Change and Security Program (ECSP) we've been trying to capture some of the voices of leading scholars (including a fair number on this list) and practitioners working in the areas of environment, climate, population, development, and/or security. ECSP's blog New Security Beat www.newsecuritybeat.org/search/label/video<http://www.newsecuritybeat.org/search/label/video> commonly features these 2- to 10-minute videos with accompanying context. All the videos are available on our ECSP YouTube channel www.youtube.com/ecspwwc<http://www.youtube.com/ecspwwc>.
