  • A Scholarly Affair: Proceedings of the Cultural Studies Association Of
    The blogs of war: Narrating the Afghanistan and Iraq wars Richard Gehrmann University of Southern Queensland Abstract: The post 2001 ‘War(s) on Terror’ have seen changes to the manner in which war is communicated, and this offers opportunities to those writing the social history of war. These events reflect the contemporary realities of war and communication. Borderlands of scholarship have opened and the community of those at/of war can now be more openly engaged and interrogated by the scholarly community. Past conflicts have been marked by the contest between official government representations of reality and the image presented by the mainstream media. This dual dominance is increasingly challenged by virtual individuals, a challenge that provides scholars fresh space to engage with a community that is too often excluded. Social media offers a remarkable degree of access for scholars to complement official reports and mainstream media accounts of war. This paper explores these areas of scholarly engagement and assesses the development of the new virtual community at war, with an examination of the 2010 case of Richard Strandlof and his fraudulent identity as wounded American war veteran Rick Duncan who was actively opposing war. New media has been used by community activist groups who detect and publicise such impersonations in both Australia and the United States, and in a more prosaic manner by soldiers and their families who just want their voices to be heard. The recent conflicts in the Middle East, the ‘War(s) on Terror’, have been accompanied by changes to the manner in which war is communicated, and this offers opportunities to those writing the social history of war.

  • Testimony: Climate Change and the Threat to National Security
    Testimony: Climate Change and the Threat to National Security Good Afternoon. My name is Hal Bidlack and I thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Environmental Protection Agency’s “Clean Power Plan” proposed rule. I am not a regulatory expert, so I will not comment on the specifics of the rule, but I do support the EPA for its ambition and goals. I appear today before you as a private individual. I am speaking only for myself and not for my employer or any other organization or entity. I was honored to spend over 25 years in uniform, retiring from the United States Air Force as a Lt Colonel in 2006. I hold a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, where my research focused on environmental security. While on temporary duty to the National Security Council, I worked on climate change issues, and in 1997 was the author of the first draft of the DOD statement on the impact of climate change on US national security. I also taught environmental security while on the faculty of the US Air Force Academy. I began my military career as a missile launch officer, one of the “finger on the button” people at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming. My service in the Air Force taught me that we cannot 1 wait to address looming threats. Then it was our adversaries in the Cold War. Now we face a gauntlet of threats to national security that range from extremists in non-state actors to traditional warfare, dangerous civil wars and beyond.

  • Introductions for Hamilton and Bidlack
    Introductions for Hamilton and Bidlack Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I am here to introduce Alexander Hamilton. General Hamilton is a man whom some scholars have called the most brilliant of the founding fathers, and the architect of our nation’s greatness. Others, however, have called him a monarchist and a militarist. General Hamilton was a self-made man in an era when the term meant much more. He rose from poverty and an ignoble birth to become a general, a leader, and the founder of our economic and legal systems. Perhaps most impressive is the breadth of his service. He served nobly in three arenas: in uniform, in office, and with the quill. After serving as Washington’s closest Aide, General Hamilton earned a combat command where led his troops from the front, and was the first man over the walls during the climactic Battle of Yorktown. He was this nation’s first Secretary of Treasury, at the age of 32. There he created the foundations of our fiscal system, putting us on the path to economic greatness. He was the principal author of the Federalist Papers, one of the greatest writing on American political thought ever crafted. In his later years, the French politician Talleyrand concluded that the three greatest men he had ever met were England’s William Pitt, France’s Napoleon Bonaparte, and America’s Alexander Hamilton. When pressed to rank them further, Talleyrand stated he would have place Hamilton first. John Marshall once said that when he compared himself to Hamilton, he felt as a candle beside the sun at noonday.

  • Alexander Hamilton Exhibition Tour Itinerary
    Alexander Hamilton Exhibition Tour Itinerary Important exhibit display information: The first date of your exhibit display period is a Thursday. The shipper will deliver the exhibit to you no later than Wednesday--the day before. You can schedule programs for Thursday evening, but please do not plan programs early on Thursday in case of delivery problems (they are rare, but do happen). Friday openings and programs are the best--you may open the exhibit whenever it suits your local schedule. This exhibit will take 2-3 people approximately 2-3 hours to unpack and set up. The last date in your exhibition period is a Friday, which should be the closing date for the exhibition (you may close the exhibit earlier if you wish). Because there is limited time available to get the exhibition from one site to another, libraries should have the exhibition dismantled and ready for pick-up on the Monday after the exhibition closes. This does not mean the shipper will always pick up the exhibit on Monday, but the exhibit should be ready to go on Monday morning.
