The ISA-West Annual Conference 2012, “Climate Change and Human Security,” was held in Pasadena, California from Oct. 19-20th. Over these two days, 126 people participated on 23 panels and 9 roundtables. Highlights included the luncheon talk on climate change by Josh Busby (UT-Austin), a documentary on climate change by Miroslav Nincic (UC-Davis), and a talk on globalization and the wine industry by Mike Veseth (University of Puget Sound), accompanied by a wine tasting at a local wine bar. The conference featured four roundtables related to professional development, two of which were supported by a Professional Development Committee grant: “Navigating the Mentor-Mentee Relationship,” “Navigating Departmental and Campus Politics,” “Walking the Walk: Human Rights Activists in the Field,” and “Teaching Insights by Award-Winning Teachers.” We look forward to seeing everyone again in Pasadena in September 2013!
