This weekend I participated in the Atlantic International Studies Organization (ATLIS) mini-conference at Mt. Allison. Every year ATLIS publishes undergraduate essays in a peer-reviewed journal. The mini-conference was the precursor to a larger, annual one in January. For twenty minutes students presented their research papers to peers and professors and after the presentation there was a ten minute discussion. The theme of the mini-conference was environment and gender issues. I was one of four presenters and my presentation focused on wind power in North America.
The topics of the presentations were:
“Grains, Greenhouse Gases and Government: Agricultural policy for the coming climate chaos”
“Wind Power in North America”
“Is Microcredit a Panacea to Women’s Empowerment?”
“Portrayal and Representation of Women in International Humanitarian Law and its implication in armed conflicts”
All of the presenters did a wonderful job and the discussions that followed were really interesting. Great food for thought!
