I'm giving five talks over the next ten days, and just wanted to quickly announce them here in case anyone living in the appropriate areas wanted to come by. Hopefully I will have the chance to write up at least some of them here for those who can't. Here's the schedule of the events which are open to the public.
- April 14, Institute for Middle East Studies at the Elliott School of International Affairs (GWU). I will be speaking in the late afternoon panel (3:30-5:00) on Political Islam in the Contemporary Gulf, along with two of the best young scholars on the subject -- Thomas Hegghammer (lately of Jihadica) and Stephane Lacroix.
- April 16, Williams College. Vietnam and Iraq: Lessons for Withdrawal, a joint discussion with the esteemed historian Frederik Logevall. I'm quite excited to be going back to my old school, seeing old friends, and taking part in an event with someone from my PhD alma mater. 7:30, Griffin Hall.
- April 18, Williams College/ H-Diplo Conference on New Scholarship in American Foreign Relations. I will be on a morning panel with Randy Schweller, Jeff Legro, Stacey Goddard, and James McAllister discussing World Out of Balance, the important new book on the durability of American primacy by Stephen Brooks and William Wohlforth. Also Griffin Hall.
- April 21. Open Society Institute, New York. I will be speaking on "The Political Impact of New Media in the Middle East" -- an issue near and dear to my heart these days -- hosted by Mohamad Bazzi (from NYU and formerly of Newsday) and organized by my new FP.com colleague Evgeny Morozov. 6:00-8:00 PM, at the OSI office.
Look forward to seeing any readers from those areas at the events! For the rest, just a warning that blogging will be hostage to the usual road-trip tandem of internet access and insomnia.
