The many faces of GPIS - Maria Julia De Araujo

aria Julia De Araujo, or simply “Julia”, is a first year MA student focusing on Conflict and Cooperation. She was born and raised in Sorocaba in the state of Sao Paulo in Brazil until her family moved to Black River Falls, Wisconsin when Julia was 14 years old for her father’s job. Julia explains that moving from Southern Brazil to a tiny town three hours from Minneapolis was initially a culture shock. After graduation from High School in Wisconsin, Julia moved to Washington D.C. to attend Georgetown University where she majored in International History at the School of Foreign Service, graduating with her bachelors degree in 2007. Julia also worked at Georgetown as an events coordinator before returning to her native Brazil to live with her aunt in Sao Paulo. There, she studied for the Brazillian Foreign Service Exam and eventually returned to the United States in pursuit of a master’s degree. Julia is interested in security communities and “obsessed” with Karl Deutsch and hopes to write a thesis at GPIS and eventually move on to her Ph.D. While at Georgetown, Julia met her fiancé who is an active duty Naval officer currently stationed in Virginia beach where they both live. Julia’s family has recently relocated to Newport News where she spends a lot of time. Over Christmas, Julia visited her fiancés family in Puerto Rico, but explains that she misses Brazil dearly. Currently, she is a graduate assistant at the Institute of Asian Studies and works for Dr. Jin. Julia likes to read, travel, and is very excited about GPIS, the students, and classes she has been able to take. At the end of this semester, Julia will attend a summer study abroad program to Germany, led by Dr. Karp.

Dr. Steve Yetiv is Winner of Virginia Outstanding Faculty Award Inaugurated in 1986, the Outstanding Faculty Awards are the commonwealth’s highest honor for faculty at Virginia’s public and private colleges and universities. These awards recognize “superior accomplishments in teaching, research and public service.” Dr. Yetiv is ODU’s 26th winner since 1991, when sociologist Karen Polonko brought the university its first SCHEV faculty award, and only the fifth political scientist to win in Virginia’s vaunted university system in the past 14 years. During those two decades, only the College of William and Mary has won more Virginia Outstanding Faculty Awards. Twelve faculty members at colleges and universities in Virginia were chosen for the 2012 awards from among a record 125 nominees. Each recipient will receive an engraved award and a check for $5,000 underwritten by the Dominion Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Dominion Resources. The awards presentation ceremony will be in Richmond on Feb. 16. “Steve Yetiv exemplifies the teacher-scholar role of the ODU faculty by making his scholarly research accessible, interesting and relevant to his students and to the community at large,” Provost Carol Simpson said. “He truly is a most outstanding faculty member.” Yetiv, who was designated as a University Professor at Old Dominion in 2010, joined the faculty in 1993 following a postdoctoral position in international affairs at Harvard University (1990-93). In the words of Joseph Nye, former U.S. under secretary of defense; director, National Intelligence Council; and dean, John F. Kennedy School of Government; and current professor, Harvard University, “Yetiv won two awards for excellence in teaching at Harvard University … but he is also strong in research. Steve’s overall output and quality is very impressive, measured against high-level competition. … In brief, Steve has attained a worthy national reputation - and I am delighted to recommend him.” Yetiv’s research focuses on three areas related to national and international security: global energy and American foreign policy; U.S. decision-making and foreign policy in the Middle East; and the link between globalization and national security (in particular that of the United States). His contributions to the area of discovery have garnered two coveted Choice Outstanding Academic Book awards from the American Library Association, the Scholars Award from the Virginia Social Science Association and the Burgess Award for Outstanding Scholarship from ODU’s College of Arts and Letters. He has published six major books and numerous journal articles. Scholars have found Yetiv’s “Explaining Foreign Policy” (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2004; 2nd ed., 2011) to be potentially one of the most important contributions to the field of foreign policy in the past 35 years. The book has been used at more than 45 universities, including Yale, Georgetown, Cornell and the University of St. Andrews. His most recent book, “The Petroleum Triangle” (Cornell University Press, 2011), draws on an array of data and evidence to find that Middle East oil and globalization have combined to augment the real and perceived threat of transnational terrorism.

Dr. Steve Yetiv is Winner of Virginia Outstanding Faculty Award Patrick James, professor and director, Center for International Studies, University of Southern California, and former vice president, International Studies Association, noted: “As a scholar, I regard Steve Yetiv as world class. This is indicated by … novel, heavy volume research, including four top 10-ranked university press books in the past seven years. Because he is world class, he certainly deserves recognition within his own state of Virginia. … His novel book on U.S. grand strategy, like other works by him, reveals an extraordinary ability to engage in historical and theoretical analysis that is rigorous and relevant to present concerns.”Yetiv has won numerous teaching awards over the past 20 years and has worked hard to become a public intellectual, extending the classroom to a much larger national and global audience. In the classroom, he helps students improve their analytical skills through hypothesis-building and testing, while pushing them hard to think about real-world problems. For example, students in his International Relations Theory class are required to create hypotheses tied to modern world affairs, which are then tested according to seven criteria for a good hypothesis. Yetiv encourages historic and contemporary applications, requiring knowledge of theory, history and modern cases and how they inform each other. As one student noted, class discussions were “very good at making me think about the applications of theories … to real-world situations past and present.” Another student described Yetiv as a “fantastic teacher … whose exceptional awareness of current application and emerging concepts kept the course material interesting and helped to maintain high motivation in the classroom.” Yetiv brings his own real-world experience to teaching. This includes drawing on his research, consulting with the U.S. Departments of State and Defense, international travel to more than 20 countries, and media contributions ranging from the Christian Science Monitor to NPR to CNN. A two-time finalist from ODU for the Virginia Outstanding Faculty Awards, he appears regularly in the media and has published more than 250 opinion/editorial pieces. Yetiv’s experience, high-level contacts and scholarship facilitate efforts to teach students real-world decision-making and problem-solving. He puts students in the position of being consultants, based in part on his knowledge and experience of what consultants do. For instance, he tasked students in his Energy and Globalization class with creating a comprehensive U.S. energy policy. They identified criteria for judging various energy solutions ranging from biofuels to nuclear power, with Yetiv pushing them to sharpen real-life thinking skills. As one student put it, “Dr. Yetiv is the perfect Socratic teacher … who pushes us with his questioning.” Yetiv also works to advance the careers of his graduate students through collaborations on research projects. To date, his students have co-authored 14 journal articles with him. (story credit: ODU webpage)

Great Decisions 2012 Speaker Lineup For more information and registration for events, please visit: http://www.hrwac.org/ (Most events are held at 10 am at Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, 2200 Parks Avenue, Virginia Beach, VA 23451) Saturday, 4 February 2012: Dr. Caleb Verbois, Assistant Professor, Government, History, and Criminal Justice, Regent University, cverbois@regent.edu, 757-352-4551 (confirmed) Promoting Democracy The U.S. has had a history of advancing and supporting democracy around the world. What place does democracy promotion have in U.S. foreign policy today? With a choice of tools ranging from economic aid to military force, what are the appropriate yet effective methods that the U.S. should use to promote democracy? Saturday, 11 February 2012: Dr. Debra Shushan, Assistant Professor, International Relations, The College of William & Mary, dlshushan@wm.edu, 757-221-3479 (confirmed) Middle East Realignment The popular revolts and upheaval of the Arab Spring have radically changed the face of the Middle East. What lies ahead for the Middle East’s transition to democracy? What are the prospects for the governments that have held out in this new order? With many longtime U.S. allies ousted, how will the U.S. recalibrate its relations with the new regimes? Saturday, 18 February 2012: Dr. Victoria Hill, Assistant Research Professor, Department of Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Old Dominion University, vhill@odu.edu, 757683-4911 State of the Oceans: Why is Arctic Ice Melting So Fast? The world’s oceans are essential to life on earth, and are tremendously sensitive to global climate change. What are the consequences of climate change on oceanic factors like biodiversity, sea levels and extreme weather systems? How can the U.S. and its international partners address the emerging challenges to this shared resource? Saturday, 25 February 2012: Dr. David Selover, Associate Professor, dselover@odu.edu, 757-683-3541 Indonesia and Asia from an Economics Perspective Having emerged from authoritarianism in the last 15 years, Indonesia has made remarkable strides politically, economically and socially. Yet the new, democratic Indonesia is still a developing country facing considerable challenges. How can Indonesia continue its path of growth, reform and prosperity? What is Indonesia’s role in the global community? Saturday, 3 March 2012: Federal Bureau of Investigation, Mr. Willie Session, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Cybersecurity: We are building our lives around our wired and wireless networks. The question is, are we ready to work together to defend them? The securitization of cyberspace has caused a sea change for both governments and the private sector, faced with new threats, new battlegrounds and new opportunities. Faced with challenges such as international cybercrime and authoritarian control of networks, how will the U.S. and its democratic allies approach the cyber frontier? How does this new domain figure in U.S. strategic interests? The GPIS Bulletin is Now on Facebook & Twitter - Join the GPIS Conversation!

Upcoming Events The International Literary and Cultural Studies Research Forum This research forum will feature presentations on current scholarship by faculty and graduate students from ODU and other institutions within the wide field of international literary and cultural studies. We seek not only to provide a forum for scholars to present and receive feedback on their research projects, but also to help build bridges between scholars in a wide range of disciplines (international literary studies, cultural studies, film studies, gender studies, postcolonial studies, art history, area studies, media studies, and history, among others) as well as between faculty and graduate students in these fields. We likewise hope to help foster an environment of interdisciplinary intellectual exchange that will be stimulating for all involved. We are planning one research presentation (a talk lasting 20-25 minutes and 30-40 minutes of discussion) per month during Fall and Spring semesters. If you work in an area that is in some way linked to international literary and cultural studies and are interested in presenting your research, please contact us. We are eager to offer a forum for a broad community of scholars. Thursday, February 2, 2012: Elizabeth Black, Assistant Professor of French, ODU: “Mirror/ Window, Relection/Deflection: Regulating the Gaze Inside and Outside the House in Gilles Corrozet’s Blasons domestiques (1539).” (for more information, see box below). Tuesday, February 28: Imke Meyer, Helen Hermann Professor of German, Bryn Mawr College: “Labor Pains: Franz Kafka’s ‘Hunger Artist’ and the Protestant Work Ethic.” Tuesday, March 20: Maura Hametz, Associate Professor of History and Director, Institute for Jewish Studies and Interfaith Understanding, ODU: “The Habsburg Empress in Trieste’s Liberty Square” Thursday, April 12: Luis Guadano, Assistant Professor of Spanish, ODU: “Norm is Not Blas, But Cheers is Cheers? Character Transposition and The Singularity of a Defined Space in The Adaptation/Remake of a US TV Sitcom in Spain.” Dr. Elizabeth Black, Assistant Professor of French, Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, “Mirror/Window, Reflection/Deflection: Regulating the Gaze Inside and Outside the House in Gilles Corrozet’s Blasons domestiques (1539)” Gilles Corrozet’s Blasons domestiques, a set of illustrated poems, are both a paean to the art of comfortable living and an engagement with the morality of lived space. The blasons’ oft-neglected woodcuts reveal concerns around visitors’ access to the home and women’s confinement to the domestic sphere. This paper analyzes how the blasons negotiate the tricky relationship between the interior and exterior of the family dwelling, in particular the notion of the male and female gaze escaping or invading the house. Images of windows and a mirror stage complex games of framing and blur the distinction between character, poet, and viewer, while the use of glass questions the absolute nature of the boundaries set up between inside and out, and casts doubts on whether the nascent ideal of privacy can be achieved in the home.

Thursday, February 2, 2012, 12:30-1:30pm, Burgess Room (BAL 9024) For more information about the forum, please contact Elizabeth Black (Assistant Professor of French: eblack@odu.edu) or Heidi Schlipphacke (Associate Professor of German: hschlipp@odu.edu).

Fellowships at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University The Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) is an interdisciplinary community dedicated to producing policy-relevant scholarly research on international security problems, to teaching and training the next generation of security specialists, and to influencing policymaking in international security. The Center serves as a forum for scholars, practitioners and security professionals to understand complex international problems and explore innovative solutions in a collegial and collaborative environment. CISACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fellowship program is an integral part of this mission. Eligibility: In the social sciences and humanities, we seek pre- and post-doctoral scholars, junior faculty, policy practitioners, and, in special cases, mid-career professionals in journalism, law, the military, government, or international organizations, either from the U.S. or abroad. In collaboration with the Stanford Law School, we offer two research fellowships on law and international security. This program is open to law students, recent law school graduates, and pre- and post-doctoral scholars and professionals from a variety of disciplines. In the natural sciences and engineering, we seek scholars in those and related fields who are pursuing significant science-based research and are interested in using their technical knowledge to do policy-relevant research in international security. CISAC welcomes applicants from academia, the public and private sector, national laboratories, and the military, either from the U.S. or abroad. One of these fellowships is the William J. Perry Fellowship, which honors the former secretary of defense. His career is a model for the scientifically informed, pragmatic, far-sighted problem solving in public policy that we value at CISAC. Research Areas: Topics of interest for our fellows may include nuclear weapons proliferation and risk, nuclear energy, war and civil conflict, global governance, migration and transnational flows, public health and the environment, cyber and biosecurity, international norms and ethics, and insurgency and homeland security. We welcome applicants conducting research in these areas, broadly defined, and at their intersections. Pre- and post-doctoral scholars and junior faculty with an interest in nuclear issues are also invited to apply for a Stanton Nuclear Security Fellowship. Expectations: CISAC fellowships are residential fellowships in which fellows are expected to produce finished writing. For pre-doctoral fellows, this means finishing dissertation chapters or the dissertation. For post-doctoral fellows, this means writing a publishable article or articles and/or making significant progress on turning a thesis into a book manuscript. For scientists or professionals, including law students and lawyers, this generally means writing a publishable article. Fellows are expected to be on campus throughout the fellowship year and should not plan to spend their time conducting research abroad or in other parts of the country. Fellows are expected to participate actively in the CISAC community by attending research seminars and by collaborating with colleagues and senior researchers and faculty. Fellows working in nuclear security will also be required to attend seminars on writing and presenting to policy audiences. These seminars will feature presentations by current and former government officials and staff members. The seminar series will also help guide fellows through the process of producing a short piece of highly policy-relevant work. All CISAC fellows will have the option of attending these seminars on a regular basis. Stipend, Benefits and Housing: Predoctoral fellows receive stipends comparable to those awarded by the Stanford Graduate Fellowships program. Postdoctoral fellows receive stipends determined by length of time passed since month and year of PhD completion and experience. Junior faculty and professional stipends are commensurate with experience. Past pre-doctoral fellows have received stipends in the range of $25,000 to $30,000; post-doctoral fellows have received stipends in the range of $48,000 to $65,000.
