I am sending this message to several lists with names that seem to be relevant to social science methodologies or international relations. If this message constitutes junk mail for you, I apologize. I teach an undergraduate course called, "QUANTITATIVE APPROACHES TO INTERNATIONAL POLITICS," an introduction to methodology, statistics, and computers as used in our field. I hope to offer my students the chance to earn extra credit by (1) having them use bitnet to discuss international relations issues with a student at another university (a sort of academic, electronic penpal), and (2) having them use bitnet to collaborate with students at other universities on joint research projects. I especially hope to recruit participants from outside the United States. Interested students and professors should please contact me as soon as possible via bitnet, telephone, fax, or regular mail. if you are a student interested in the collaborative research project, I will need to communicate with your professor in order to set the ground rules so that academic credit can be given honestly and fairly. THANK YOU. Renee Marlin-Bennett Assistant Professor, School of International Service American University 4400 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20016 PHONE (202) 885-1636 FAX (202) 885-2494
