GPIS Alumni Highlight - Jack Kalpakian

ack Vahran Kalpakian currently lives in Ifrane, Morocco and gruaduated in August 2000 with a PhD, focusing on International Security and International Political Economy. He is currently an Associate Professor at Al Akhawayn Univeristy where he teaches courses in international studies. He wrote his disseratation on identiy, conflict, and cooperation in international river systems. In the past, Jack has traveled to Kenya, South Africa, Senegal, Italy, and Canada for conferences and workshops. Below, he talks about his educational background, his current position, and offers advice to GPIS students.

“I have deep roots in the Middle East and Africa. My undergraduate and graduate education included courses in Middle Eastern Studies as well as regular, old fashioned, International Relations. The education was valuable, because without the doctorate, I would not be able to hold my current position or have the required knowledge to teach the classes I do. But in terms of surviving within the country, knowledge of Arab/ Middle Eastern/Islamic culture is not replaceable. Part of my job interview was conducted in Arabic, and I am glad to have retained my language skills. In retrospect, the GPIS language requirement is a good idea that needs further institutionalization. My work with the ODU Model UN and Model Arab League has been very helpful in terms of organizing simulations and other teaching devices for my classes. In terms of acquiring teaching skills, my work as an adjunct at Old Dominion, Thomas Nelson, Christopher Newport and Central Texas College’s Navy Program of Afloat College Education, was extremely useful. Prior to teaching, I worked as a Research Assistant at GPIS, and many of the lessons I learned there, particularly in managing relations with colleagues, have proven useful. My work in Norfolk politics with the Winn, Rerras, Graeber and other campaigns is very helpful. Morocco is a country trying to democratize, and many of my students are curious about the mechanics of electioneering, including speeches, posters, the various forms of political appeal, and polling. Having first-hand experience at these things is helpful in terms of conveying not only the nature of the United States political system, but the mechanics of democracy. It is important to look in all possible places for work and to apply early and often to as many places as possible. Use a very wide net when looking for employment. Check out the Chronicle of Higher Education’s web site as well as Higheredjobs.com, ISANET.org, and the various British academic job websites, including The Guardian and The Times educational supplements. You will need to put in no less than one hundred applications to attract any interest, and of every ten interviews, it is reasonable to expect a job offer only once. Do not be discouraged, this is normal in the social sciences. It is a numbers game and it is important to keep cheerful, because it is possible to get an academic job in the right place, given time. Be prepared for bizarre situations during your job search, particularly if you apply to colleges and universities that are known to have a religious or political agenda. Maintain positive relations with ODU faculty members, because you will need their recommendation letters to secure employment. In order to secure an offer, you will need to look at government positions, NGO work, think-tank jobs, as well as a positions outside academia that include a substantial academic element in their work, such as museums and publishing houses. Do not be shy; apply everywhere possible, because the worst that can happen is that they decline your application. Finally do not count on schools that have hired you as an adjunct to step up to the plate andemploy you. These are wonderful sources of experiences, but they cannot be counted on in terms of a permanent career, because they are accustomed to securing your services at a cut-rate price. I love my career at Al Akhawayn University. I regard time spent teaching in the classroom as a time that does not count towards my lifespan. Morocco is a lovely country whose people are, by and large, more open to the outside world than the societies of the Arab Eastern Mediterranean. I was able to adjust to life here with relative ease. I was able to see some of the world’s least known treasures here, including Stone Age artifacts, royal mausoleums, Sufi shrines and Ghanaoua Muslims. Produce and food are naturally grown and taste as nature intended them. I have met some very important people and attended the King’s inauguration of the Moroccan Royal Academy of Diplomacy. I feel that I am carrying on useful work here and that I am learning a lot about the country, its culture, its problems and its diverse tribes, languages and regions. The pay is superb, considering living expenses in Morocco, and it includes medical coverage. While the nominal amount may seem small, I have been able to pay off my substantial college and bank debts over the last four years. I also now own property debt-free in California, so I believe that the pay is excellent, when the bigger picture is consided.”

The Graduate Society Corner

GSIS Event Recap â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Friday, March 16, 2012 members of GPIS, had the opportunity to participate on the 3rd ODU-NATO Crisis Decision- Making simulation. In an excellent environment, created by NATO ACT staff, we experienced first-hand the difficulties which world leaders and diplomats face in dealing with contemporary issues. This event demonstrated one of the main advantages of Old Dominion University and Norfolk region its cooperation with and proximity to ACT NATO headquarters. Faced with the contemporary problems like piracy in Somalia and cyber-terrorism participants showed great zeal and energy engaging in debates and discussions attempting to reach a consensus in solving mentioned issues. It was a great opportunity to apply knowledge gathered in classes in an almost real environment. This was definitely one of the most entertaining and useful annually events giving extra significance to Graduate Program in International Studies.â&#x20AC;? Nikola Kovac, GSIS President

A moment when those things that make us who we are as a nation – our openness and innovation, our determination and devotion to core values – have never been more needed. This is a moment that must be seized through hard work and bold decisions to lay the foundations for lasting American leadership for decades to come. But now, this is no argument for America to go it alone; far from it. The world looks to us because America has the reach and resolve to mobilize the shared effort needed to solve problems on a global scale in defense of our own interests, but also as a force for progress. In this we have no rival.”-US Secretary of

State Hillary Rodham Clinton

Robert D. Putnam is the Peter and Isabel Malkin Professor of Public Policy at

Harvard, where he teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses. Professor Putnam is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of the British Academy, and past president of the American Political Science Association. In 2006, Putnam received the Skytte Prize, one of the world's highest accolades for a political scientist. Raised in a small town in the Midwest and educated at Swarthmore, Oxford, and Yale, he has served as Dean of the Kennedy School of Government. He has written a dozen books, translated into seventeen languages, including the bestselling Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community, and more recently Better Together: Restoring the American Community, a study of promising new forms of social connectedness. His previous book, Making Democracy Work, was praised by the Economist as "a great work of social science, worthy to rank alongside de Tocqueville, Pareto and Weber." Both Making Democracy Work and Bowling Alone rank high among the most cited publications in the social sciences worldwide in the last several decades. Putnam's most recent book, American Grace, co-authored with David Campbell of Notre Dame, focuses on the role of religion in American public life. Based on data from two of the most comprehensive national surveys on religion and civic engagement ever conducted, American Grace is the winner of the American Political Science Association's 2011 Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award for the best book on government, politics, or international affairs. He consults widely with national leaders, including US Presidents Bush and Clinton, British Prime Ministers Blair and Brown, and Ireland's Bertie Ahern. He founded the Saguaro Seminar, bringing together leading thinkers and practitioners to develop actionable ideas for civic renewal. His earlier work included research on comparative political elites, Italian politics, and globalization. Before coming to Harvard in 1979, he taught at the University of Michigan and served on the staff of the National Security Council. He is currently working on three major empirical projects: (1) the changing role of religion in contemporary America, (2) the effects of workplace practices on family and community life, and (3) practical strategies for civic renewal in the United States in the context of immigration and social and ethnic diversity.

The National Council Fellowships: Washington, DC Summer Internship Program May 28 - August 3, 2012 The National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations’ Washington, DC Summer Internship Program offers undergraduate and graduate students a ten-week professional, academic, and career opportunity internship in the nation’s capital. The program features a demanding mix of professional involvement, intellectual challenge, career exploration, and cultural encounters designed to provide interns with a rich and varied experience during their time in Washington. * Professional workplace experience: Interns are placed with one of over a dozen Near East and Arab world-related organizations in Washington, D.C., where they are expected to work 35-40 hours/week under the direct supervision of their host organizations. * Academic seminars: Interns take part in twice weekly seminar sessions designed to provide them with greater depth of knowledge about the Arab world, to underscore the cultural, economic, and political diversity of Arab states, and to explore the intricacies of Arab-U.S. relations. * Site visits: Interns receive a behind-the-scenes look at many of the central institutions of federal government, national security policymaking, international diplomacy, and international business. Sponsorship: The program is administered by National Council professionals and staff, together with more than two dozen of America’s foremost scholars and leading foreign affairs practitioners.

Call for Papers “Security Community Building: Bridging the Theory/Policy Divide”September 20-22, 2012 Belgrade, Serbia

he organizers of the Belgrade Security Forum are pleased to invite security scholars and researchers to submit proposal papers for the second Belgrade Security Forum (BSF) to be held on September 2022, 2012. The Forum is the biggest international security conference in Southeast Europe each year gathering several hundred top level policy and decision makers, NGO leaders, experts, academics and journalists. The overarching topic of this year’s Forum will be Coping with the Crisis: Challenges for Security and Democracy. The Belgrade Security Forum is a unified event divided into two portions: an academic event on the first day, and a policy portion encompassing the next two days. The aim of the academic event is to feed scholarly insights into the policy portion (September 21-22) of the Belgrade Security Forum. Over the last several decades academic and policy communities which deal with international politics and security have significantly parted ways. The organizers are welcoming papers which offer challenging, innovative and policy oriented ideas on how to better overcome gaps between theory and practice in security community building. We are specifically interested in papers drawing on the recent “practice turn” in International Relations and Security Studies. We are also willing to consider submissions dealing with the impact of economic crisis on regional security as well as the regional level of analysis more generally.Participants will be selected on the basis of their application. All submissions are required to contain the applicant’s CV (up to 2 pages) attached to his/her paper proposal (up to 400 words). Submissions should be made electronically to office@ccmr-bg.org entitled “Call for paper proposals for BSF 2012”. The applicants should clearly state whether they would like to be considered for accomodation and travel grant. The deadline for submissions is 15 April 2012. All successful candidates will be contacted by 1 May at the latest. The organizers will financially support travel and accommodation expenses of selected participants on needs basis. After the conference all papers will be peer-reviewed for publication in the Journal of Regional Security (former Western Balkans Security Observer), academic journal of the Belgrade Center for Security Policy.

The “Critical” in “Critical Political Economy”’. Thursday 20 – Friday 21 September 2012, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain.

o be ‘critical’ in one’s work is a common rhetorical aspect of political economy research, especially in the post-2007 world. However, what ‘critical’ refers to, and the implications of being ‘critical’, are Deadline for frequently neglected or left unclear. For example, Application: does it entail: the promoApril 25, 2012 tion of normative commitments in one’s work; the highlighting of previously ignored/neglected topics or aspects of the world; the unravelling of taken-for-granted assumptions in a text; the attempt to take inspiration from different social science disciplines; or the support for particular ontologies, epistemologies and methodologies? Or should we consider broader issues as well, such as: the changing nature and role of Higher Education in contemporary societies; the relationship between academia and wider society; participation in social and political movements, such as Occupy; and attempts to reform government policies in a more progressive direction?This two-day conference in Barcelona seeks to explore these issues in an open, honest and reflexive manner. We are interested in all of the above plus more, and wish for the conference to cover a wide range of topics. Assuch, we seek contributions from those with an interest in political economy research, regardless of their disciplinary affiliation and whether they are in academia or not. The conference language will be English, and there is no fee for attending and participating in the conference. Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be submitted to cpern@criticalpoliticaleconomy.net by no later than Wednesday 25 April 2012. The applicants will be informed of the selection committee’s decision by no later than Wednesday 9 May 2012.

RANDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Graduate Student Summer Associate Program introduces outstanding graduate students to RAND, an institution that conducts research on a wide range of national security problems and domestic and international social policy issues.

The program receives about 500 applications each year for the 20+ positions. The associates who end up finding matches with a research project do so because their skill sets match the needs of the project. The program runs in the summer months only. Summer associates work at RAND fulltime for a 12-week period. Positions are available in RANDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three major U.S. offices â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Santa Monica, Arlington, and Pittsburgh.
