An isolated issue, however, was published for the academic year 1982 - 1983 by I. Moyer Hunsberger, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty then, who wrote in his introduction, ―… The reputation of a faculty member among the community of scholars in his/her discipline is enhanced by publication, as is the reputation of his/her university.‖ The annual series of faculty publications has a number of goals: Showcase faculty research productivity Increase the visibility of the research, scholarly and creative works by AUC faculty Help in the preparation of news releases to the media about new research, in efforts to raise the profile of the university and develop deeper connections with the local community Serve as a vehicle for faculty members to get to know about each other‘s work and interests Help people who look for faculty with expertise in a certain area Increase interdisciplinary and collaborative research among AUC faculty Emphasize the importance of research as an integral part of faculty responsibilities Encourage faculty to increase their research productivity Serve as a database and historical record of AUC faculty publications The purpose, however, is not for this list of publications to serve as the sole criterion by which a faculty member is judged. The university does not consider the quantity of publications to be a substitute for the quality, and while a faculty member may not have published this year, he or she may very well have had several publications in previous years. In addition, the various statistics for the schools and departments are provided in this publication for the record and should not be used — independent of other factors — for comparative purposes. It is also acknowledged that the expected number and type of publications published by a faculty member vary greatly by discipline. Faculty Publications 2008 was compiled from soft copies provided by AUC faculty members through their respective school deans. Every effort has been made to make this list as accurate and complete as possible. A draft of this list has been checked for accuracy by the faculty, school deans and other units. I would like to thank Graham Harman, associate vice provost for research, and Basma El Maabady at the vice provost‘s office for their help in the preparation of this document. An effort has been made to provide a list that is consistent throughout the university in terms of bibliographic style and format. This style is shown on the following page.

    CYBERSCRIBE-193 September 2011 Copy

    CYBERSCRIBE-193 Menhedj, Volume Two, Number 3 (September 2011) The CyberScribe would like to begin this column with a look backwards to a very important man to all of us who love ancient Egypt. I refer, of course, to Zahi Hawass. Admired, loved, hated, reviled, accused of terrible things…he is all of these things. But, he took the office as head of the Supreme Council on Antiquities (SCA) from a seldom seen, a somewhat ineffectual, and largely politically helpless agency to a dynamic power that protected and developed Egypt for us lucky visitors. Many people believed him to be a power and glory hungry person, and that may have been true in part, but modern day Egypt is far the better for his term in office. He has funneled huge sums into upgrading the sites, opening new areas and new museums, and has succeeded in generating a great deal of foreign currency for an impoverished Egypt. He is gone from the scene for now, perhaps forever as a power, but we must salute him…and offer a vote of thanks for a job that was for the most part, very well done! The Internet is filled with vicious attack websites, and laughter from those who enjoyed his fall, but that is probably the wrong tack. Yes, he has been accused of a number of criminal activities, but none of the accusations has resulted in conviction or censure. Thank you, Zahi Hawass! A site called ‘The National’ (http://tiny.cc/kuhn4) presented a nice overview, and it is presented below (with some abbreviation): ‘It is finally over for Zahi Hawass, Egypt's famous, flamboyant and controversial archaeologist.

    The Tomb of Ja-Maat in Saqqara and Its Date 220 NASHWA GABER

    INSTITUT DES CULTURES MÉDITERRANÉENNES ET ORIENTALES DE L’ACADÉMIE POLONAISE DES SCIENCES ÉTUDES et TRAVAUX XXVI 2013 NASHWA GABER The Tomb of Ja-MAat in Saqqara and Its Date 220 NASHWA GABER In the autumn of 2008, the Egyptian mission of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) directed by Zahi Hawass begun a systematic excavation in an area, south west of the Step Pyramid of Djeser, and northeast of the Pyramid of Unas. The site of the excavation is a part of the area known as Gisr el-Mudir, which attracted scholars’ attention since the 1990s.1 In fact, the discovery of the tomb of Qar in 2001 by the Egyptian mission2 as well as the results of the Polish mission endorsed the decision to begin the excavation in the site.3 The results of the fi rst archaeological season 2008–2009 proved that the site has a vast cemetery of middle class offi cials related to the fi rst half of the Sixth Dynasty.4 The site chosen for the excavation is located on a hill that was covered with wind-blown sand. On the surface a mixture of tafl a and limestone could be seen (Figs 1–2). THE TOMB OF IA-MAAT One of the tombs discovered by the Egyptian mission is that of Ia-Maat, which was uncovered during the archaeological season 2009. It is located in the southwestern side of the cemetery at a distance of c. 410m from the Pyramid of Djeser (Fig. 1). It was covered completely with windblown sand. The tomb was left semi-fi nished; only the lintel on the façade of the cult chapel as well as its south and west walls are decorated with reliefs.

    Alternative Politics, Vol.3, No.3, 256-419, November 2011 256 TIMELINE OF THE ARAB REVOLT: DECEMBER 2010 – JUNE 2011 Bogdan SZAJKOWSKI* December 17, 2010 Tunisia - Mohamed Bouazizi, a 26-year-old unemployed, sets fire to himself in the central Tunisian town of Sidi Bouzid, protesting at the confiscation by police of his fruit and vegetable cart. He suffers third-degree burns across his entire body and is subsequently treated in the Traumatology Centre for Severe Burns in the town of Ben Arous. His self-immolation sparks demonstrations in which protesters burned tyres and chanted slogans demanding jobs. Protests soon spread to other parts of the country including the towns of al-Ragab and Maknasi in central Tunisia, and later the capital, Tunis. Videos of the Sidi Bouzid demonstrations are online soon after the protest began and the Twitter website carries extensive commentary of the protests. December 19, 2010 Tunisia - Protests spread to Kairouan (holy city located in north-central Tunisia), Sfax (city 270 km southeast of Tunis), and Ben Guerdane (town in south-eastern Tunisia, close to the border with Libya). December 20, 2010 Tunisia - Mohamed Al Nouri Al Juwayni, the Tunisian development minister, travels to Sidi Bouzid to announce a new $10m employment programme. But protests continue unabated. December 21, 2010 Tunisia - President Ben Ali carries out limited cabinet reshuffle and warns that protesters would be punished if rioting continued in the country. December 22, 2010 Tunisia - Lahseen Naji, a 22-year-old commits suicide in the midst of another demonstration over unemployment in Sidi Bouzid by climbing an electricity pylon and electrocuting himself on the cables, after shouting out ―No to misery, no to unemployment!‖ 257 Bogdan Szajkowski Ramzi Al-Abboudi, under the burden of business debt, ironically made possible by the country‘s micro-credit solidarity programme, commits suicide.

    CYBERSCRIBE-194 October 2011 Copy

    CYBERSCRIBE-194 Menhedj, Volume Two, Number 4 (October 2011) This month’s offerings will be a bit sparse. Things in Egypt are still in an uproar, with uncertainty everywhere. One day everything is said to be normal…the next day there are strikes and terrible pronouncements. It is said that all foreign missions will be working this winter, but there are no permits being issued. What to do? As a result, there are not all that many stories about Egypt in the news lately, but here are a few that the CyberScribe found that may be of interest. As before, the CyberScribe will NOT comment on events concerning individuals involved in the problems of Egypt’s government. Everything is too fluid, and to comment would only be spreading rumors. Having said that, it is of great interest to note that not only is there chaos in the new Ministry of Antiquities and the Supreme Council of Antiquities, the whole shebang is incredibly deep in debt! In the article below, it states that the Antiquities Departments are in debt to the tune of £E 1.2 BILLION pounds (about US$204 million)…money it neither has, nor has the means to acquire at this time. In addition, the antiquities inspectors and archaeologists are still angrily protesting broken promises and few full time jobs. It would appear that in his zeal and exuberance, Zahi Hawass committed Egypt to vast projects that were without any means of being funded. The deficit is staggering! Here is a statement concerning this mess, published in Egypt’s ‘Al-Ahram Online’, an unimpeachable source for most items of archaeological import in Egypt (http://tiny.cc/yur5o) (abbreviated somewhat for space reasons): ‘Archaeologists are still protesting at the front entrances of archaeological sites, and archaeological work is at a stalemate despite the appointment of a new head to hold Egypt's antiquities portfolio.

Governments are listed in alphabetical order according to the most commonly used version of each country’s name. The spelling of the personal names in this directory follows transliteration systems generally agreed upon by US Government agencies, except in the cases in which officials have stated a preference for alternate spellings of their names. NOTE: Although the head of the central bank is listed for each country, in most cases he or she is not a Cabinet member. Ambassadors to the United States and Permanent Representatives to the UN, New York, have also been included.
