FEATURED
Randall Balmer
Professor Randall Balmer's new book, God in the White House: How Faith Shaped the Presidency from John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush, explores the role of religion in American presidential politics in the latter half of the twentieth century. A professor of American religious history at Barnard College, Professor Balmer also is an ordained Episcopal minister, volunteering at a local parish.
Kim F. Hall
Hall recently assumed the newly endowed Lucyle Hook Chair in honor of this beloved English faculty member, a scholar of 17th century literature and drama who passed away in 2003 at the age of 102. “I feel a kind of kinship [with her],” says Hall, citing Hook's scholarly interests as well as her love of international travel and dedication to women's issues.

International Trade and Labor Standards:
A Proposal for Linkage
by Christian Barry and SANJAY REDDY
In this book, Christian Barry and Sanjay G. Reddy propose ways in which the international trading system can support poor countries in promoting the well-being of their peoples.
