CPRsouth6 tutorials in Bangkok


Posted on December 8, 2011  /  0 Comments

When I was running a graduate program at Ohio State University in another life, we had a joke among the faculty about the convoluted ways in which we described the incoming group of graduate students. The temptation was to say this was the best incoming class ever, but then we’d get grumpy looks and protests from the previous classes. So we’d try all kinds of legerdemain to describe the incoming class, without offending the previous ones.

I have a similar problem with the 30 young scholars from 13 countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Korea, Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan ROC, Thailand) taking part in the tutorials. This is a bright bunch. Unlike in other years, it’s a not a fully subsidized training: they or their organizations are picking up a small part of the costs. Perhaps it is that commitment that I am picking up. The slides are being posted on www.cprsouth.org.
