I read about global affairs. I think about global affairs. I went to college to study and learn about global affairs, and sometimes I want to express my opinion about global affairs. So here (this blog, it is new, Hi.) is where that will go.
What do I think Global Affairs is? I think the field is appropriately named, because the study of Global Affairs is an equal parts mixture of globalization studies and current affairs. The discipline is heavily emerged in everyday ripped from the headline bulletins because Globalization has affected so much of the world by now, and it has become difficult to distinguish what comes from where. This leads me to feel that any one who stays up to date on what is happening in the world is in effect studying globalization.
I really don't know why but no other major at Mason is so constantly redefining itself and in need of justifying its existence. The skills I have taken out of my global affairs classes are in reading and writing about the world that I see, and thinking and writing about how the future will look like. I don't think that I am a terribly good writer, but I have strong opinions and sometimes I want to voice them. I am going to start doing that here, starting with a paper I wrote for a course I am taking on Globalization and religion.
P.S. I have always known that my nickname was just waiting to be turned into a pun I just tried to fight it for my entire life.
