ISIM 2007 Lecture/Performance Series on Improvisation January through June 2007 University of California, San Diego
Presented by the International Society for Improvised Music UCSD Chapter
From improvised explosive devices (IEDs), to descriptions of identity (ie., Judith Butler's description of gender and sexuality as "improvisations in a scene of constraint"), to strategies of corporate or athletic excellence, improvisation is not just on the bandstand anymore. This series seeks to explore and bring into dialogue all manner of thinking on and performing of improvisation(s) from a wide field of disciplines and perspectives.
We are currently accepting proposals for performances or papers from researchers from fields outside the arts, including the social sciences, neuroscience, computer gaming and other areas, as well as musicians who play improvisational music (all styles welcome), and artists, dancers, actors, and writers whose work deals with improvisation. Improvisation can be addressed/performed in any manner, from what could be described as "traditional" to the outright uncalled for. It can be hailed, reviled, considered a sham or the solution to all of our problems.
ISIM UCSD will present one event each month from January through June 2007. Each event will feature a combination of improvisation workshops, live performance, research presentation, and lectures. Refreshments will be served after each event. The inaugural event is Wednesday, January 24 and the second event is Sunday, February 25.
For consideration for January/February events, please email your proposal, including an abstract (no more than 300 words), short bio, and, in the case of performances, media documentation, such as a recording or video, to jilgenfr@ucsd.edu. If attaching media is a problem, hard copies can be submitted to James Ilgenfritz' grad student box in the music department hallway (Mandeville Building), in addition to an emailed proposal.
All proposals must be received via email by Sunday, December 31. Decisions will be announced on Friday, January 5. Please indicate your preference (if any) for January 24 or February 25. Deadline for consideration for events in March through June is January 31, 2007.

About Ruth Adams: This competition is in honor of Ruth S. Adams, a former visiting scholar at UCSD, who worked tirelessly as an activist for peace. As the editor of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists for more than a decade, Ruth made significant contributions to peace and security studies. She organized cooperative international efforts on economic development and arranged for the training and financing of international security scholars. She was the only woman in attendance at the influential Pugwash Conference on Science and World Affairs in 1957, which was sponsored by Albert Einstein and Linus Pauling, among others. She actively supported enhanced roles for women in international relations research and was a devoted participant in a number of non-governmental organizations. This essay competition was created by Ruth's friends and colleagues to honor her deeply principled, compassionate contributions to international affairs by supporting the work of new graduate students in the field.
“Civil War and the High Level Panel Report”
Thursday, November 30th, 2006
4:00-6:00 PM
Weaver Center , Institute of the Americas
UCSD Main Campus
Abstract: Two years in the making, the report of the Secretary-General's High Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change was launched in December 2005 amid much media fanfare. Its recommendations––on security, development and UN reform––fed into a highly politicized process which culminated in the Secretary–General's own report entitled, In Larger Freedom. The latter also drew on the findings of the Millennium Project which was directed by Columbia University 's Jeffery Sachs and which focused primarily on development issues.
In Larger Freedom stressed the critical importance of the connections between security and development––that the realization of the one was dependent on the realization of the other. But having stressed the inseparability of the two, In Larger Freedom went on to treat each separately––thus replicating the bureaucratic divisions within the Secretariat that made collaboration between the security and development communities in the UN so difficult.
The issue of civil war was central to the rhetorical agenda of both reports, but neither the Secretary–General's report, nor the compromise outcome document endorsed by all governments at the September 2005 summit, drew on the available evidence base about the drivers of civil war or the successes––and failures––of the international community in seeking to stop existing wars and prevent new ones from arising. The latter will be the main focus of Professor Mack's presentation.
Andrew Mack is the Director of the Human Security Centre at the Liu Institute for Global Issues, University of British Columbia . Prior to establishing the Human Security Centre, he was a Visiting Professor at the Program on Humanitarian Policy at Harvard University (2001). He spent two and a half years as the Director of Strategic Planning in the Executive Office of Secretary-General Kofi Annan at the United Nations from 1998 – 2001.

The DSC 2007 aspires to create an environment where doctoral students from intercultural and multi-disciplinary backgrounds converge to explore the ways in which they can collaborate and work towards meeting the challenges facing the Pacific Rim in this global age. The conference provides an important avenue for doctoral students to share perspectives and exchange information relating to their research with peers from other APRU universities in an international academic setting.
The 8th DSC will comprise plenary sessions, workshops, contributed paper sessions and panel sessions. Paper presenters will either present their paper in a contributed paper session organized by the Keio Organizing Committee, or in a panel session organized by a doctoral student. The panel sessions are a new initiative to encourage doctoral students to form panel sessions focused on a specific area or issue so as to generate more focused discussions. Participants in this conference are strongly encouraged to organize their own panel sessions with the idea of getting three or four papers in a session focused on one area or issue. It will be an opportune time for students to obtain critique on their research, establish valuable networks and future academic collaborations.
I am pleased to announce that the DSC participants will be provided with 6 nights of free lodging at a hotel near the Mita campus of Keio University. No registration fees will be charged as well.
Click here for the DSC Call for Papers and Panel Proposals (consisting of details and submission schedule) and see the conference flyer. Submission of abstracts and panel proposals should be done via the online registration system available at the conference website: http://www.ic.keio.ac.jp/apru/index.html. More information such as program, registration and lodging will be progressively made available on the conference website. If you have any queries regarding the conference, do send them to the International Center of Keio University at: dsc07-info@adst.keio.ac.jp.

Our students’ responses in the Graduate Student Survey showed a substantial interest in cross discipline interaction and information about student research on campus. Last year over 200 graduate students and faculty attended this campus-wide event. This year we want to attract more students from more disciplines.
This is a unique, but often overlooked, opportunity for graduate students to practice presenting their research in a professional and intellectually stimulating environment. Students can present their research as an exhibit or as a member of a panel chaired by a UCSD faculty member. Students will receive feedback on both the style and content of their presentation from faculty and grad students. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain professional experience and represent your program at this interdisciplinary event.
We hope to have presentations from every discipline on campus. Students can submit their abstract online at http://ogsr.ucsd.edu/symposium. The abstract submission deadline for panel participants is Friday, December 8. Poster submissions will be accepted until January 12.
Those students not presenting should attend to observe and support their peers.
The symposium is free and open to the entire UCSD community. Advanced registration is required. Register online before January 12, 2007 at http://ogs.ucsd.edu/symposium.

Save America! is a play about a certain kind of white person. Not the kind that professes white supremacy or secretly covets a race war or even owns a gun. Not the kind that makes openly racist remarks at the dinner table or thinks that slavery was a good thing. No, that subject is too easy to critique after the various civil rights movements of the 1960s and 70s, even if the goals of those movements have not been fully realized. The more complicated subject is the white person who doesn't think racism exists anymore, especially inside one's (white) self. This subject might listen to hip-hop while driving to the polls to vote for anti-immigration candidates—without any awareness of irony.” -Scott Boehm

Sandra Wulff from UC Office of the President will come talk to interested students and faculty members about the Pacific Rim Research Program. This is the description:
The Pacific Rim Research Program is a multi-campus program established to encourage Pacific Rim research on the ten campuses of the University of California . It sponsors a competitive grants program that provides funds for University of California faculty and graduate students who do research on Pacific Rim topics in a variety of disciplines.
Its priorities are: (1) comparative investigation across national, cultural, linguistic and/or regional boundaries; (2) focus on interactions, flows, or major issues affecting the Pacific Rim region and specific to it; (3) collaboration of scholars in different countries and, where appropriate, different disciplines. Multi-disliplinary, multi-region research is encouraged. Proposals will be evaluated for scholarly merit, originality, purpose, relationship to existing research, theoretical framework, methodology, participants' qualifications and roles, adequacy of available resources, budget justification, anticipated products, schedule, and dissemination plan.
The information session will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 1pm, at the International Center.
We'd like to bring your attention to postdoctoral opportunities within Oxford . Oxford economics postdocs are intended to be an attractive entry point for an academic career. For instance, recent post-docs in economics include Lucy White, who went to Harvard Business School and is now at Lausanne; Volker Nocke, who went to the University of Pennsylvania and is now back at Oxford Economics Department; Ran Spiegler, now at UCL via Tel Aviv University; Erik Eyster, now at the LSE.
This year we will be filling several ( at least two) Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in any field of economics together with one Prize Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in econometrics . The latter is funded following Bent Nielsen's award of an ESRC Research Fellowship and consequently has slightly different conditions as detailed below. Econometricians who apply for either position will automatically be considered for both so need only submit one application.
All fellowships are 3-year postdoctoral research positions. The PRF (any field) positions carry some teaching responsibilities at Oxford University 's Department of Economics whereas the PPRF (Econometrics) carries no teaching duties and is consequently remunerated at a lower rate. The successful PPRF (Econometrics) candidate may however, if they wish, also arrange remunerated teaching with the Department. The PPRF (Econometrics) will be located within Nuffield College . The PRFs (any field) will be located either at Nuffield or at the new Economics Department building in Manor Road , in either case there will be an association with either Nuffield or another College.
We think it a further attraction that Oxford already has a large and vibrant body of postdocs who comprise an important part of the research life of the Department.
Postdoctoral fellows in Economics currently include:
Catia Batista (Ph.D. Chicago; macroeconomics, economic growth, international economics )
Florin Bilbiie (Ph.D. EUI; macroeconomics; dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models; fiscal and monetary theory)
Jordi Blanes i Vidal (Ph.D. LSE; law and economics; financial economics)
Clive Bowsher (D. Phil. Oxford; financial econometrics)
Sharon Belenzon (Ph.D. LSE; economics of innovation)
Jennifer Castle (D. Phil. Oxford; forecasting, time-series econometrics and applied macro-economics )
Stefan de Wachter (D. Phil. Oxford; financial econometrics and microeconometrics)
Mikhail Drugov (Ph.D. Toulouse; contract theory)
David Greenstreet (Ph.D. Michigan ; industrial organisation)
Rafael Hortala-Vallve (Ph.D. LSE; political economy, contract theory)
Jeremy Large (D.Phil. Oxford; financial economics, financial econometrics )
Clare Leaver (Ph.D. Bristol; political economy and public finance)
Rocco Macchiavello (Ph.D. LSE; development economics)
Roland Meeks (D. Phil. Oxford; dynamic general equilibrium macroeconomic models)
Mika Meitz (Ph.D. Stockholm; financial econometrics; time series analysis)
Bruno Strulovici (Ph.D. Stanford; mathematical economics, financial economics)
Jeremy Tobacman (Ph.D. Harvard; behavioural economics and consumption )
Pedro Vicente (Ph.D. Chicago; corruption, microeconomics of institutional/political issues in development)
We strongly prefer to receive application packages by Wednesday, 15 November 2006, though applications received later will be considered.
We attach a job description and an application form. These are also available on the Oxford Economics Department website ( www.economics.ox.ac.uk ) under 'Academic Vacancies'.
Thank you very much.

Earnings from the submission fee go entirely towards defraying the cost of publication. We are a non-profit, all-volunteer staff. There are no paid positions with the IAJ.
Article Criteria:
- Articles on all topics relating to international affairs.
- 3-10 pages, single-spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font. Page count includes body as well as endnotes

Hi! I'm Dana Dahlstrom with the Graduate Student Association. By virtue of our constitution, our governing council comprises representatives from each participating department of the university. In order to represent the interests of UCSD graduate and professional students, we strive for broad participation.
The 105 students in the Economics program (based on last year's enrollment) are entitled to 3 voting representatives on the GSAUCSD Council. Representatives are identified by a letter of certification (usually sent by e-mail to gsa@ucsd.edu) from their departments. I hope you or someone from your department will contact us soon to certify up to 3 representatives for this year.
Economics students should know that GSA has (a projected) $577.50 in per-capita funds set aside this year for their representatives to use for their benefit.
Thanks again, and please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.

Tuesday, October 10th, 2006
12:30-2:00 PM
Social Science Building Room 108 (SSB 108) University of California, San Diego
Lunch will be served and spaces are limited. Please RSVP to iicas-events@ucsd.edu by Monday, October 9, 2006 at 8:00 AM.
For directions, please visit: http://maps.ucsd.edu.
This event is free and opened to the public.
Co-sponsored by IICAS, IR/PS and the Economics Department.
***
INDIRA RAJARAMAN is a senior faculty member at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy in Delhi, one of the leading public finance think tanks in India. She has also served as an advisor to several state governments and the national government of India. (http://www.nipfp.org.in/indira.asp)
ABSTRACT: The focus of the talk is on the absence of a standing fiscal adjudication body between layers of government in the Indian fiscal federation. This is set in the context of the big growth story, which has been accompanied by widening spatial disparities in rates of growth.
The first section of the talk will outline the basic institutional features of the Indian fiscal structure in terms of statutory provisions for redressing spatial inequalities. Finance Commissions are appointed every five years to re-set the formulae governing the statutory sharing of fiscal resources between the Centre and the States. The second section will deal with issues consequent upon the recommendations of the Twelfth Finance Commission (TFC) for the horizon 2005-10. The third section will go into other issues of more long standing, calling for resolution. The lack of participatory outcomes to these inter-governmental issues carries growth and development implications, since it is at the level of state governments where responsibility for health and school education is the greatest.

For the past seven years Academic Connections, a three week pre-college summer academic and resident experience, has offered UCSD graduate students the opportunity to develop and teach summer courses to highly motivated high school students.
The program class dates are July 9-27, 2007, class enrollment is held at 22 and all classes with an enrollment over 12 will have an instructional assistant. Graduate student instructors earn a salary of $3231 for the three-week program and are awarded a budget for supplies and materials contingent on course requirements and enrollment.
Academic Connections is a UCSD initiative designed to provide high school students access to the extraordinary educational opportunities the University has to offer. The program provides young students with a stimulating academic experience and provides graduate students the opportunity to share their in-depth knowledge and passion for their field.
We look forward to talking with interested graduate students about the possibility of adding new courses to the summer 2007 curriculum. Past graduate students have benefited from the teaching experience and have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to convey their enthusiasm for their area of expertise to a new generation of college bound students
