Description:

This course is offered every Spring semester, linked to the annual Camden conference on World Affairs. The Camden Conference has been holding its foreign affairs conferences for over 20 years. Keynote speakers and participants regularly include prestigious and highly thought of foreign affairs specialists drawn from the policy community, the academic world, journalists, and others with expertise in the field. Conference topics have ranged the gamut of key foreign affairs issues facing the United States. Students attend the entire conference, which is always held over a February weekend. The conference format includes a keynote speech and dinner on a Friday evening, sequential speakers all day Saturday, and a "wrap-up" session Sunday morning. In addition to required attendance at the entire conference, the UMF course would include preparatory classes before the conference and course work after the conference. Students will be responsible for paying their transportation and lodging costs to attend the conference. Because the topic of the course will change each year, students can repeat the course only once for credit, at instructor discretion. Prerequisite(s): Instructor Permission.
