Conference: 2008 Spring Fellowship Conference
The GAGE Program will be hosting our annual Fellowship Conference in American Politics, Foreign Policy and World Politics at the Miller Center of Public Affairs on Thursday and Friday, May 8-9.
The Fellowship Conference will showcase the best work in politics understood from an historical perspective. Eight Miller Center
Fellows along with their "dream" mentors will participate in four plenary sessions: Foreign Policy History, Business and Social Policy, The Power of States in a Federal System, and Race, Ideology and Justice.
The conference will also feature a manuscript review of Harvard Professor of History Daniel Carpenter's forthcoming book on the pharmaceutical regulation at the FDA. Three additional panelists will provide critique of the work: Paul Quirk, a distinguished Political Scientist at the University of British Columbia, Harry Marks a leading expert in the History of Medicine at The Johns Hopkins University, and Dr. Robert Temple, the Director of Drug Policy at the FDA.
This conference is open to the entire public. Download full biographies (PDF) of the participants and a full schedule (PDF) of events.
