For almost a decade now, CIE has been spotlighting international research to encourage a campus-wide conversation on current international issues. Through the New Hampshire International Seminar (NHIS), CIE brings scholars from around the world to Durham as well as calling upon our own UNH faculty. This spring, the series focused on Africa and a range issues facing the continent, sparking thoughtful dialogue among students, faculty and staff:
