Folks-
The last two ISA annual conventions have witnessed an incredible phenomenon - the Fred Friendly Seminar in International Affairs!! The first, in Toronto, dealt with pandemic flu and was co-sponsored by ESS, the Security Studies Section, and the Public Health Section; the second, in New Orleans, addressed energy security in the Arctic and was sponsored by the conference organizers! Clearly this format is gaining some steam, so I am getting ready to submit for the 3rd one. The format is that of an unfolding scenario in which the panelists are assigned roles to play and have to think on their feet, make decisions with incomplete information, and react to live developments in the story. Both panel and audience found it interesting, and I hope to make it a regular ISA offering. I have got 6 of my previous panelists coming back for this one, but I need fresh blood! (Read that in a vampire-y tone of voice, if you like.) It's a fun panel, but not merely so - this format is an ongoing attempt to inject some policy applicability into international studies, which IMO ISA needs. The deadline for submission is this Friday, so if anyone would like to participate, drop me an e-mail and tell me your area of expertise. See you in Atlanta! -Beth Elizabeth L.
