October 24, 2011 Volume 6, Issue 8 2 2 GPIS STUDENT HIGHTLIGHT - William Patterson
The GPIS Bulletin is Now on Facebook & Twitter - Join the GPIS Conversation! Many students, especially students of political science and international studies, decide to study abroad or to conduct research in other countries. Students writing dissertations within the area, cultural, and comparative tracks are particularly encouraged to learn about the economical, political, or cultural aspects of regions outside of the United States. Will Patterson, PhD candidate, spent the last nine months doing just that. However, he did so wearing a bullet proof vest and sidearm while embedded as a civilian cultural expert with an army combat unit in Afghanistan. Will was hired by the U.S. Army as a research manager in the Human Terrain System program. From December 2010 until the end of August 2011, Will worked as a cultural researcher, analyzing diferent villages and politically infuential people in the Zabul Province of Afghanistan often spending days away from his main post. Before Will was allowed to conduct this research, he had to undergo fve months of training in several dif- ferent parts of the continental United States that in- cluded research methods training and Afghan cultural training. Once in theater, Will worked alongside social scientists and other researchers. Every time Will and his team left the base, they were accompanied by a con- voy that also included members of the Romanian army. Wills main job was to identify questions about the local population, interview villagers, analyze the collected data, and turn them into reports that could be present- ed to his battalion commanders. Throughout the research and interviews, the informa- tion had to be scientifcally valid and within ethical standards. Wills team mainly interviewed Afghan men (leaders, mullahs, and commoners) about diverse top- ics such as economic factors, agriculture, perceptions about Americans, and the Afghan government. Will says that in Afghanistan, education is one of the top three challenges, evident by the literacy rate which is less than one percent in the Zabul province. At times his job was rather dangerous, especially when the convoy would camp out in remote parts of the province. While discussing safety, Will mentions that since the Human Terrain System has been in operation, three people in his position have been killed (This in- cludes Paula Lloyd, a researcher for the Human Terrain System who was doused with gasoline and set on fre in November 2008). In return for Will serving his country in this hazardous environment, the Army paid him enough to allow him to focus entirely on his dissertation this year. Will also teaches a course on the Politics of East Asia within the department at ODU. Cont. page 3. Will in Afghanistan Congressional Palace in Kabul 3 3 GPIS STUDENT HIGHTLIGHT - William Patterson

Will explains that the hiring process for his position is done by a government contractor, but the Army has the right to change specifcs of the contracts. Potential candidates have to be U.S. citizens and be able to obtain a secret clearance. Researchers within the Human Terrain System have master or doctoral degrees in the social sciences and experience in conducting research. Before coming to GPIS, Will was a police ofcer and detective in Virginia Beach with a background in Crim- inal Justice, Asian Studies, and International Studies. Overall, Will says that he is thankful for the unique opportunity that working for the Army has provided him. He enjoyed interacting with the Afghan people and appreciated their hospitality. His worst experience during his stay in Afghanistan was seeing the pov- erty and the way people live frst hand.

Her presentation focuses on letters and journals of nineteenth-century British women travelers to Portugal and analyses how the afectionate con- tempt Dora Wordsworth identifes as the prevail- ing British attitude towards Portugal complicates an established set of representational strate- gies used by British nine- teenth-century women travel writers in their self- fashioning as the ideal of the English lady. This presentation is part of a broader examination of colonial discursive forma- tions in 19th century Anglo-Portuguese relations.

There are three trends in the ways that pub- lic administrations are trying to cope with these problems: privatization of public tasks and services, increasingly detailed government regu- lation of markets and social activities, and ad- herence to the status quo. In order to promote research and discussion regarding these trends and the future of public administration the GRIP and SPEA invite proposals for papers falling into the following general themes: Administrative Theory and State Paradigms, Multi-level Gover- nance, Market and the Regulatory State, Society and the Regulatory State, Non-proft and Civic En- gagement, Participation, Administrative Modern- ization and Performance Management, Human Resource Management and Ethics Management, New Administrative Tasks. Further information on each theme may be found on the conference website. The conference will consist of multiple concurrently running panels. There will also be two keynote addresses and an expert roundtable discussion as well as several social gatherings. It is planned to publish selected papers from the conference in a special journal issue or edited volume. Free accommodation will be provided for conference participants presenting a paper. We invite all proposals ftting generally into any of the above themes.We particularly welcome comparative approaches including comparisons of Europe and/or the US with other countries/re- gions or discussions of European and/or Ameri- can policy towards other countries/regions.
