20] – On Tues., June 4 from 12:15 to 1:30 PM, go to The
Shape of Food Security, hosted by the International Food Policy Research
Institute (IFPRI), 1201 I St., WDC 20005. Lunch will be available
starting at 11:45 AM. Ten years ago, the plant pathologists Richard Strange and
Peter Scott founded the journal Food Security—the Science, Sociology and
Economics of Food Production and Access to Food in response to Norman Borlaug’s
challenge to "do more for food security." During this seminar, look
back over the last decade to identify some key trends in publishing on
#foodsecurity, including geographic reach and topics covered. We will also
discuss the importance of publishing research and analysis from a wide range of
disciplines and ask ourselves how interdisciplinary the journal has been so
far. This systematic review will help guide the journal to make even greater
contributions to food security in the years to come.
Lunch
will be available starting at 11:45 AM. Register for this FREE event here: https://shapeoffoodsecuritypresentationoncreationlifepubs.eventbrite.com.

24] –On Tues., June 4 from 6 to 9 PM hosted by Profs &
Pints, hear about The Long View on Venezuela at the Bier Baron Tavern and
Comedy Loft, 1523 22nd St. NW, WDC 20037. See
profspintsvenezuelaview.brownpapertickets.com. Fulton Armstrong, research
fellow at American University’s center for Latin American studies and former
National Intelligence Officer for Latin America and adviser to the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, will do a presentation. Since January, the
United States and other nations have been seeking to oust Venezuelan President
Maduro and replace him with National Assembly President Juan Guaido. So far,
however, such efforts have failed to deliver hoped-for democracy, stability,
and prosperity. Instead, Venezuela’s humanitarian crisis has worsened, its
political tensions remain high, and its prospects continue to seem dismal.
What
happened, and why? Where does the mess go from here? What will it mean for the
U.S.? Get answers to such questions from Fulton Armstrong, who spent 30 years
following Latin American affairs in various government positions and continues
to stay on top of the situation in Venezuela as a scholar at American
University.
He’ll
discuss the current situation, its underlying causes, and scenarios for the
future. Among the questions he will tackle: Might UN-sponsored negotiations
work? Can an old political center reemerge in Venezuela and summon Maduro and
Guaido to compromise? Is Washington helping, or hurting, the cause with its
pledges to take down the other two governments in what it calls the “Troika of
Tyranny,” Cuba and Nicaragua? The “Monroe Doctrine,” through which the United
States in the 19th century claimed the right to intervene in Latin America and
keep others out, is front and center in the Administration’s policy. Is
Venezuela a means of establishing that primacy anew? Tickets are $12. But
at the doors--$15. Save $2 with student ID. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/305524480357533/.
