From Our President
In this moment of de-globalization, economic nationalism, and intensifying geopolitical tensions, it can seem somehow "counter-intuitive" to invest time in an international association that is also interdisciplinary in nature, as both features of AAIDES – international and interdisciplinary – are contrary to widespread spirit of retreat into what is familiar, safe and secure. Given that many of us academicians are contrarian in nature – critiquing the status quo, searching for what is yet unspoken – swimming against the current ought not be discouraging. If you have joined AAIDES - congratulations. And if you haven't – no dues by the way – why not take the plunge? Come on in – the water's fine.
