Dear Colleagues- ISA kicks off tomorrow in Toronto, and the environmental, security, and global health sections are co-sponsoring an Innovative Panel roundtable discussion on infectious disease, security, and globalization. The discussion will be based on a Fred Friendly Seminar, where the panelists will be assigned a role to play in a hypothetical scenario, but they do not know which role they will get, and they have to think on their feet to answer questions. Hopefully this will be a new and useful way to illuminate some of the connections surrounding environment, security, foreign policy, and public health.
Scenarios, and Fred Friendly Seminars in particular, get a shout out in today's Slate: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2014/03/hypothetical_questions_and_candidates_politicians_are_cowards_for_refusing.html Politicians may be cowards, but we are not! If you are at ISA this year, come watch me make some panelists squirm. -Beth ______________________ Elizabeth L.
