On October 30th- November 1st, Professor Pike will take part in an international conference on the theme of "Foreign Intervention in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939)", hosted in Lisbon, Portugal by the Instituto de História Contemporânea (Contemporary History Institute). He will be keynote speaker for France on October 31, with a presentation on the topic: "France: the Limits of Intervention and the Agony of Non-intervention". |
Professor David Wingeate Pike (Contemporary History and Politics) has just sent to press a work on the Channel Islands under Nazi occupation, which he wrote in collaboration with his former student Anne Farache, whose father was sent to Aurigny as a slave laborer and was one of the few to survive. This work will appear in three parts in the Paris quarterly Guerres Mondiales and will be published later in book form.

From current issues in the Middle East taught together by an Iranian historian and an Israelli journalist, to NGO management taught by the director of Human Rights Watch in France, every class was fascinating and taught by some of the most impressive people I could ever have imagined. I immediately felt at home in this small but active AGS community because, although students and professors are all from different parts of the world, everyone takes the time to understand each other's perspective. Overall, I would recommend AGS to anyone with a thirst for intellectual stimulation and a drive to not only understand the world of international relations, but engage in it..
