Carbon Management, Energy Security and The Future of Nuclear Energy
Kane Hall, Room 130 (Room 225), 6:30 PM.
Steven Aumeier (Director of Energy Systems and Technology,
Idaho National Lab). In less than 60 years we have witnessed the transition of nuclear electricity production
from an experiment on the high desert of Idaho to more than 430 nuclear power reactors deployed in 31 countries,
supplying nearly 15% of global electricity. Driven by population growth, increased energy demand in developing
countries, concerns about climate change, and the decreasing availability of fossil fuels, the next 60 years may
well see not just an expansion of nuclear energy for electricity production (1/3 of all energy usage) but also
an integration of nuclear energy with renewable and fossil energy resources. This approach will supply lower-carbon
transportation fuels and heat to drive industrial processes (the remaining 2/3 of energy consumed). These “hybrid”
nuclear energy systems could offer an attractive route to better manage the lifecycle of carbon resources, integrate
more renewable energy into consumer products, and open significant opportunities for global energy security. But
whether nuclear energy will live up to its full potential as a key enabler for global energy security is yet to be
seen, and will in large part depend on whether the nuclear energy enterprise can address lingering concerns about cost,
safety, waste management and nonproliferation while also evolving to deploy nuclear energy beyond electricity production.

The United States Meets Europe: A Forum for Young Leaders
Next USAME Weeklong Seminar will take place in New York City & Washington, 18th - 24th
April 2010 and will focus on the theme: "New Priorities, New Strategies: Soft Power, Cultural
Diplomacy and American Foreign Policy". In addition to looking in greater detail at the
history and development of cultural diplomacy, the next USAME Weeklong Seminar will look at
how the priorities of U.S. foreign policy have changed since the end of the Cold War and are
continuing to developed. This will provide a framework for discussions on contemporary trans-
Atlantic relations, and for comparing and contrasting foreign policy priorities in the U.S.
and Europe. The program will focus in particular on the following areas:
-The history and development of trans-Atlantic relations since 1945, focusing in particular
on the Marshall Plan, the city of Berlin, and the changing nature of relations since 1989.
-The use of cultural diplomacy and soft power by the U.S. during the Cold War, and the
importance this played in determining its outcome.
-The similarities and differences between the foreign policy drivers and strategies in
the U.S. and Europe, looking in particular at the application of cultural diplomacy.
-The development of U.S. foreign policy priorities over the past two decades, with a particular
focus on the objectives of the new U.S. administration and the strategies employed to pursue these
objectives. For more information please go to

For
Faculty
Manuscript Solicitation for a Special Issue of the Comparative Education Review
Deadline June 30, 2011
This special issue of the Comparative Education Review will bring together scholarship
that examines how and why teacher education reform ideas circulate globally, how and why
they inform policy, and how and why they influence practice. Of particular interest are
multi-country comparative studies, which analyze how ideas regarding policy and practice
flow (and/or are filtered) between these countries or from another source, and how those
ideas are shaped to fit the unique contexts into which they are introduced.
Manuscripts (prepared according to CER guidelines) should be submitted to the CER
Editorial Manager system (http://www.editorialmanager.com/cer)
for consideration by June 30, 2011. Prior submission or communication with the Guest
Editors (Lynn Paine (Michigan State University) and Ken Zeichner (University of Washington))
is strongly encouraged. The Guest Editors will assume first-cut responsibility for deciding
whether a submitted manuscript fits the theme of the special issue and is sufficiently
developed to warrant double-blind external review.
