In three weeks I’ll be presenting on the topic “
U.S. Students Study Abroad and U.S. Public diplomacy Efforts: A Historical Review” during the
Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) annual conference being held in Chicago. My presentation is part of a larger panel discussion entitled “
Comparative Perspectives on Measuring the Impact of Study Abroad: Life, Society, and Public Diplomacy Re-imagined”. I will be joined on this panel by session chair and panelists Jae-Eun Jon who will be presenting on the topic “
Study Abroad Experience and Its Influence on Subsequent Life: Three Large-Scale Studies” and Louis Berends who will be presenting on the topic “
The Impact of Study Abroad on STEM Field Students: Assessing Work Related Experiences and other ‘Non-Credit’ Programs Abroad”. We will also be joined by Gerald Fry who will serve as our discussant. You can learn more about our session
here. If will be attending the CIES conference and our session fits into your schedule please come or swing by after the session to say hello.
This will be my first CIES conference and my participation will be limited to presenting at this session as I have to get back to Hyde Park to my full-time job and get the kids from
school.
Looking forward to more!
ReplyDeleteDo you plan on sharing what you present here on your blog as well? I read your almost every posts. I would love to read what you had to present since I am quite interested in the topic.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous ~ I will share what I can (sort of an executive summary but Blog Style) on IHEC Blog and hope that my paper or power point slides will be hosted online somewhere that I can link to. I'll keep you posted. Also, happy to hear that you read almost every post! Many thanks, David

ReplyDeleteI uploaded a PDF of my power point presentation from the 2010 Comparative & International Education Society conference here in Chicago to Scribd. I should have added some additional slides discussing public diplomacy and soft power as well as a methodology section. I uploaded the presentation as given and the slides ...are simply talking points (although a bit wordy). The session went relatively well and I got some good feedback and will be working this into my future research and writing in this area. If you are interested you can access my presentation slides at http://bit.ly/cKtqOK
