précis, the MIT Center for International Studies newsletter, is published twice yearly, once during each academic semester. The fall issue is generally published in early November, the spring issue in late April.

précis covers the wide range of Center activities and tracks the accomplishments of our faculty, researchers and affiliates. If you have story ideas or would like to write an article, please contact the 2007-2008 graduate student editor, Peter Krause, at pkrause@mit.edu.

CIS affiliates (including graduate students) are welcome to submit research articles to be excerpted in précis. These articles can have been recently published in academic journals or the popular press (we can arrange reprint rights), or they can be as yet unpublished. Although research article submissions can be of any length, they are edited, with authors’ permission, to approximately 1500-2000 words. Excerpts should be proposed by September 15 for the fall issue and by January 15 for the spring issue.

Hard copies of précis are mailed to all who are interested. To add yourself to the mailing list, please e-mail pkrause@mit.edu.
