Conversations on world affairs take place at ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ every day, and of course they canβt all be recorded and shared. But the highlights can.
β΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ Conversations on World Affairsβ is a new series of 20-minute video interviews with visiting scholars β hosted by university president Jeffrey Herbst.
Herbst, a political scientist who focuses his scholarship and teaching on the politics of sub-Saharan Africa, launched the series with six interviews during fall 2010. He spoke in the ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ studio with renowned political scientists, a philosopher, and an expert on digital educational technology.
Subjects ranged from ethics and identity, to African statehood, the war in Afghanistan, and the causes and consequences of genocide.
The videotaped conversations are available on Herbstβs the ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ video , and soon on the universityβs page on iTunes U.
