** Using Mind Fitness to Build Resilience
------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, Jan. 29: Security Studies Program core faculty member Dr. Elizabeth Stanley will discuss her research in mind fitness, neuroplasticity and resilience. Mind fitness has much in common with physical fitness. Just like physical fitness relies on repeated exercises to generate specific muscular and cardiovascular changes, mind fitness relies on specific exercises to create changes in the structure and function of the brain. And just as the body is physically changed by exercise, areas of the brain may shrink or expand -- become more or less functional -- based on experience and training. This is known as neuroplasticity. Armed with this understanding and the right approach, it's possible to literally rewire the brain to be more effective and resilient.

** The Changing Face of Aid and NGOs in Development
------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, Jan. 29:  Featuring Sam Worthington, President and CEO of Interaction. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have long been heralded as reliable systems of support and vehicles of empowerment for some of the world’s most vulnerable populations. Lauded for effective strides particularly in poverty alleviation, these organizations have formed deep and lasting partnerships with governments, civil society and countless beneficiaries around the globe. Today, however, with a steady rise in budgetary cutbacks and increasing private sector involvement, the shifting landscape of development has slowly begun to erode the status quo. This discussion addresses the evolving role of aid with emphasis on interaction between the public and private sectors and the NGO community.

** Jama’at al Tabligh: An example of Islamic Cooperation
------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday, Jan. 30:  Featuring Bayram Balci, a visiting scholar from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

** The Value of Nature: Rethinking the Role of Conservation in Economic Development
------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, Jan. 31: Featuring Glenn Prickett, Chief External Affairs Officer at The Nature Conservancy. Conserving nature is often seen as a tradeoff with economic growth, and sometimes as a costly luxury. But a sustainable economy depends on a healthy natural resource base, and conservationists today are protecting nature FOR people, not FROM them. From food security to disaster risk reduction to public health, investing in conservation is key to addressing pressing development challenges.

** Rising Powers and Global Governance with Miles Kahler
------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, Jan. 31: The power transition view of rising powers has centered attention on China and framed debate around the degree of challenge that rising powers will present for current institutions of global governance. A more careful investigation of the preferences, capabilities and strategies of the three largest emerging economies -- China, India and Brazil -- calls into question their role as likely or successful challengers to the existing global rules of the game. Their conservative stance, however, may present challenges of a different sort for global governance reform. Sponsored by the Mortara Center for International Studies. 5pm, Mortara Building.
