In an article posted to the Huffington Post website last Tuesday, GPIA professor L.H.M. Ling confronts multiple current events in answering the question, “What does Ebola have to do with Ferguson and ISIS?“
Professor Ling is the faculty supervisor of The Global Intimate (also known as the Silk Road Research Initiative), a student research collective that explores alternative and holistic approaches to international relations theory. Ling’s article connects an ethos of difference without alienation drawn from the ancient Silk Roads and applies it to contemporary realities such as Ebola, Ferguson and ISIS.
The Global Intimate currently has an IndieGoGo campaign to help “Re-imagine World Politics,” and can also be found on Facebook.
