Version 3.507/31/2008
World Association of International Studies Conference, July 31-
August 1, 2008
The World Association of International Studies (WAIS), in
cooperation with the Stanford Alumni Association, will hold
an international conference at the Stanford Alumni Association
building on July 31-August 1, 2008. We are trying to find out what
international issues most concern informed individuals. Each
speaker will choose any topic which he deems to be of international
significance. Thus the theme of the conference is very broad. Each
speaker will have 30 minutes, no more, to use in any appropriate
way, although it would be wise to divide the time equally between
the talk and Q and A.. Here is the lineup at present.

Bubble."
