Opportunities
The Department Undergraduate Group (DUG)The IR DUG is a student-run organization that plans activities relating to the IR concentration. It elects two of its members, typically one junior and one senior, to serve as voting members of the International Relations Advisory Committee. One of the principal activities undertaken by the DUG is to provide a peer advising system for concentrators. In addition, the IRDUG may organize programs, panels, and debates on topics relating to international relations. The concentration advisor acts as liaison between the DUG and the IR Program staff and faculty. We urge you to get involved! For more information, contact brownirdug@gmail.com.Brown Journal of World AffairsThe Brown Journal of World Affairs is a nonprofit, semi-annual publication produced at Brown University by undergraduate students. It responds to the need for a clear, incisive, and dynamic examination of contemporary international issues. The journal provides a forum for world leaders, policy makers, and prominent academics to engage in vigorous debate of intellectual breadth and vibrancy that bridges the gap between academic discourse and mainstream media.Working for the Brown Journal of World Affairs allows students to contribute to, and facilitate the publication of, a high quality, widely disseminated journal. Students have the opportunity to research and contact prominent academics and important individuals in the international community as well as to read the latest in international relations literature. Working for the journal also enables to students to master editing skills and lay-out and design programs--tools that are important for every academic career. For further information contact the journal at BJWA@brown.edu or visit them at www.bjwa.org. IR Program Email NewsletterThe IR Program sends out a weekly electronic newsletter during the academic year to all IR concentrators and faculty. The newsletter disseminates announcements from the IR Program office such as course updates and deadline reminders. It also serves as a valuable source of information on internships and research opportunities, speakers, conferences, and other Watson Institute events of interest to IR concentrators. The newsletter is a key way the IR Program communicates with its concentrators. IR concentrators will wish to make reading it a regular part of their weekly activity. To subscribe, contact IRProgram@brown.edu.InternshipsThe Watson Institute for International Studies administers summer internships for research with Watson Institute staff to help defray the costs of International Relations summer internships elsewhere.
