PhD student publishes article in Critical Studies on Security

Georg Löfflmann, PhD Student at PAIS, has recently published an article in the new journal Critical Studies on Security, titled "Hollywood, the Pentagon and the cinematic production of national security."

An E-version of the article is available here: http://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/whZYRv6UFvwhydUCSNVp/full#.UjrIQ7zxajc

The article investigates the the role the US Department of Defense plays in producing popular images of military power and geopolitical identity through film, and explores how these practices are linked to a dominant geopolitical imagination of American hegemony and the role of the United States in world politics.

This forms part of a larger PhD research on multiple discourses of American grand strategy during the Obama administration, and the intertextual representation and production of geopolitical knowledge in the United States.

Welcome from the Director of Student Experence and Progression (DSEP)

Dear All.
 
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all new undergraduates to the Department of Politics and International Studies (PAIS) at the University of Warwick and to congratulate you on your success. Many of you may remember me from one of the Open Days!
 
I am the Director of Student Experience (DSEP) within PAIS and my role, along with other colleagues in the Department, is to help ensure students all have a valuable and productive student experience and to offer advice and support in terms of academic progression, skills, internships and employability.
 
The Departmental induction meeting for first years will take place at 5pm on Monday 30th September in room MS.01 (Maths and Statistics Building). Although it is timetabled for two hours, don't worry, we will do our best to keep it to between an hour and an hour and a half.
 
The meeting will give you a great deal of important information for the year ahead - and for that reason I have been asked to inform you that the Department will require you to attend (attendance sheets will be distributed on the day itself for you to sign).
 
Rest assured, I will be working hard with colleagues to make it as informative and engaging as possible for you!
 
If you have a good reason for being unable to attend, please contact Charlotte.Lewis@warwick.ac.uk, Student Experience Officer, outlining the reason why you are unable to be there.
 
For those doing BA Politics and Sociology, Charlotte will email details of an additional induction to be held jointly by the Pol/Soc Course Directors.
 
Charlotte will also be emailing BA Politics and BA Politics with International Studies students within the next week or so with information on selecting your outside module/or optional 15 CAT modules. I can confirm that no one needs to be making decisions on modules at this stage. We also recommend you wait until your first week to hear your lecturers’ recommendations as to any course textbooks you should buy.
 
Subsequent emails are likely to be sent to your Warwick email account only, so please do ensure you check this for further updates and any further information throughout the year.
 
Further information will also follow on a start of term social event for our new students.
 
We very much look forward to welcoming you in person and to working with you over the three years of your degree in PAIS.
 
With very best wishes,
 
Justin
 
Dr Justin Greaves
Director of Student Experience and Progression (DSEP)
Department of Politics and International Studies (PAIS)
