[Air-L] Western Political Science Association Virtual Brown Bag

[jose marichal]

Colleagues,

I thought the following announcement would be of particular relevance to
the group... more so for the approach to promoting scholarly work than for
the content itself.  I'd be curious to know if other disciplinary
associations sponsor "virtual brown bags."

Regards,
Jose

On Tuesday, March 5th at 1:00 PST, the Western Political Science
Association will launch their new bi-monthly “Virtual Brown Bag” series
where we will discuss a new book written by authors affiliated with the WPSA.
This Virtual Brown Bag will be hosted on a social video platform,
Spreecast, where you can submit questions to the authors, “chat” with
others in the audience, go on camera to engage “face to face” in the
discussion, or simply sit back and watch.

The first Virtual Brown Bag discussion will feature Dr. Lisa Garcia Bedolla
& Dr. Melissa R. Michelson, authors of *Mobilizing Inclusion: Transforming
the Electorate Through Get-Out-The-Vote Campaigns*. You can find out more
about their new book here<http://yalepress.yale.edu/book.asp?isbn=9780300166781>
.

On March 5th, please join us! Better yet, if you are one of the first 10
people to RSVP to the Virtual Brown Bag and “follow” the WPSA on Spreecast,
the WPSA Social Media Task Force will send you a free copy of their new
book compliments of the publisher. To RSVP, simply go to the event
page<http://www.spreecast.com/events/virtual-brown-bag-mobilizing-inclusion>,
establish a free account and click “RSVP.”
