CANTON, NY, June 19, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Over the next several years, St. Lawrence University faculty and students will have an exclusive opportunity to work with one of the nation’s leading think-tanks and to participate directly in policy discussions focused on security issues related to the African continent.
The new collaboration will bring together the expertise of St. Lawrence University faculty with scholars at the Brookings Institution, a nonprofit public policy organization based in Washington, D.C. Faculty from St. Lawrence will work alongside Brookings scholars and experts from the Institute’s Africa Growth Initiative in its Global Economy and Development Program. Funding from a private family foundation with ties to St. Lawrence has made it possible for both Brookings and St. Lawrence to study important international relations questions for the next three years.
.........................................
Carotenuto said the Africa Security Initiative will give St. Lawrence faculty the opportunity to engage with policy makers and other leading scholars who are tapped into the Washington, D.C., scene.
“The Brookings mission is to bring scholars in front of key policy makers,” said Carotenuto, who currently serves on the board of directors of the Africa Network, which promotes the study of Africa at liberal arts institutions. “This collaboration adds an important chapter to our long engagement with African issues both on and off-campus.”
Carotenuto is the co-author of the forthcoming book Obama and Kenya: Contested Histories and the Politics of Belonging, which examines the ways identity politics have shaped global debates about Kenya and U.S-African relations during the Obama presidency. - (bold emphasis added)
