Dear Gep-eders/AESS-ers-
For the last four ISA conventions, a small group of intrepid panelists and I have run the Fred Friendly Seminar in International Affairs. They have covered such topics as pandemic flu in the Sudan, energy security in the Arctic, water wars in Pakistan and India, and the collapse of Venezuela the petro-state. 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. There's no crisis we can't make happen! :) Now I am putting out the call for new panelists. The topic this year is going to be food sovereignty in the horn of Africa. 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 Innovative Panel submissions is May 15, so if anyone would like to participate, drop me an e-mail and tell me your area of expertise. See you in San Francisco! -Beth Elizabeth L.
