The Cornell International Affairs Review will launch an exciting new project in January 2011 – a newsblog to discuss global events – and we need your help. We will utilize the best of academia and its students in a unique approach that will push students, so often excluded from the conversation of international affairs, to the front. We’re looking for undergraduate and graduate students that have opinions about anything from Japanese politics to German economics and everything in between.
CIAR is unique among collegiate publications in that it encourages students to voice their thoughts about global affairs. Now we’re taking this approach online, so we’re searching for writers willing to articulate their ideas at a minimal commitment of twice monthly. For us, the blog is part of our greater mission to broadcast student knowledge about foreign affairs; for you, it’s the ultimate opportunity to express your opinions and gain experience in the crowded political arena.
This is a project that, to our knowledge, has not yet been attempted by any university, but why not? No one person or university can fully understand the world – it’s a collaborative process!
To see if you’re a fit for our team, please direct your mock blog post (less than 400 words please!) about whatever you like and any questions to Jacob Baker at jrb397@cornell.edu by Monday, December 20th.
