  • Mesaʼs 51St Annual Meeting
    PRELIMINARY PROGRAM VER. 10-12-17 Jake McGuire Destination DC MESAʼs 51st Annual Meeting Washington DC November 18-21 We return to DC for MESA’s 51st annual meeting at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel where we have met every three years since 1999. The hotel is located in a lovely residential area near the National Zoo, but a nearby stop on the metro red line makes all parts of DC easily accessible. The program of 230+ sessions (see pages 12-51) spread over four days will offer a smorgasbord to whet the appetite of any Middle East studies aficionado. MESA’s affiliate groups meet mostly on Saturday, November 18 (see pages 10-11) and the first program session begins that day at 5:30pm. Panels run all day Sunday and Monday and end at 3pm on Tuesday. The book bazaar will be open Sunday and Monday from 9am to 6pm and on Tuesday from 8am to 12pm (see pages 8-9). MESAʼs ever-popular FilmFest (see the teaser on pages 6-7) begins screenings on Saturday morning and runs through Tuesday until around 2pm. The MESA Presidential Address & Awards will be held Sunday evening from 6pm to 7:30pm, and the MESA Members Meeting on Monday evening from 6pm to 8:00pm. As you will see, it’s business as usual, except of course for a new administration that is determined to ban nationals of six Muslim majority countries from traveling to the US, and MESA having joined a lawsuit against the ban that is making its way to the US Supreme Court in October.

It has its origins in the physical town square, where a community can gather in a central and open public space. As towns grew and technology progressed, the public square has become an anchor of democracy, with civic features like public broadcasting creating a space between the commercial, the personal and the government that helps anchor communities in shared understanding. 1 | SUMMARY In recent times, online platforms like Facebook In re-imagining a new public square, this paper have usurped core aspects of what we expect from proposes an incremental evolution of the Australian a public square. However, Facebook’s surveillance public broadcaster, centred around principles business model and engagement-at-all-costs developed by John Reith, the creator of public algorithm is designed to promote commercial rather broadcasting, of an independent, but publicly-funded than civic objectives, creating a more divided and entity with a remit to ‘inform, educate and entertain’ distorted public discourse.

    Project Scoping Report Appendix K –Blog Entries APPENDIX K Blog Entries WESTSIDE EXTENSION TRANSIT CORRIDOR STUDY February 4, 2008 Boi From Troy » Subway to Sea: Where’s WeHo? http://boifromtroy.com/?p=6554 July 16, 2007 « GOP Wants to Close Primary | Home | Marriott is DC’s Favorite Ho-Tel Chain » Subway to Sea: Where’s WeHo? Filed under: Politics - L.A. and WeHo, WeHo Living Congress is about to finalize legislation allowing the Los Angeles MTA to tunnel underneath the Westside of Los Angeles to build the “Subway to the Sea.” Problem is coming up with consensus–and funding for the project. Rather than shoot straight down Wilshire–an easy proposal–why not consider taking to subway to places people want to go? How about building the Subway to the Grove, then to Cedars Sinai/Beverly Center/West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, UCLA, Brentwood then Santa Monica, linking in with the new Exposition line? Under the Wilshire Plan, West Hollywood becomes the only City in West L.A. without any mass transit… Who’s going to pay for it? You ask… I had a crazy idea over the weekend that West Hollywood should consider a London-style “Congestion Fee” along Sunset and Santa Monica Boulevards for vehicles not registered within City Limits. You could do alot to ease traffic in the City, improve quality of life and raise a few bucks to pay for public transit to the town. Such an idea is likely impractical, however, since it would probably need enabling legislation from the State and probably cause retaliatory “fees” from neighboring cities… But maybe it is a starting point to discuss how we’re going to accomodate growth without creating so many negative impacts on the environment.
