John Agnew (Professor of Geography at UCLA) will be delivering this year's
Hettner Lectures, organised by the Department of Geography at the University
of Heidelberg. Most of you will know of these annual events (the previous
speakers have been Derek Gregory, Doreen Massey and Michael Watts). John
will be delivering two set-piece lectures this year:
1. 'National Boundaries and the Borders of Europe' at 1800 on 26 June
2. 'Disputing the Nature of the International in Political Geography' at
1500 on 27 June
The second of these lectures will be video-recorded and will be broadcast as
it happens on the internet at 1400 hours, UK time. Provided you have the
right system and software somewhere in your university, you and any of your
students should be able to view the lecture, and the subsequent discussion,
as it takes place. Further technical details on how to establish an internet
link are available from Lutz Nuecker on [log in to unmask] The
homepage for the Department of Geography at Heidelberg also contains
information about the lectures and establishing an internet link. See
http://www.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/wisogeo/hettner/internet.html.en
If any of you are running graduate or advanced undergraduate modules in
political geography, this is an excellent opportunity to incorporate into
your programme a lecture from one of the leading authorities in the field.
The geographers at Heidelberg would very grateful if you could inform any of
your colleagues who might be interested.
