MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

This special issue of Currents highlights the recently published books by our faculty. The subjects cover an impressive range--from politics to foreign policy to transportation to education. These dozen plus books represent only part of the scholarship of our faculty, staff and students. During the past year, as a group we published over 40 articles in major journals, authored over 30 book chapters, made over 100 presentations at professional conferences and produced a number of creative works including our first television show broadcast on WETA.

I am extremely proud of both the quality and quantity of our scholarship. It demonstrates the high standards of excellence we set for ourselves. I look forward to next year's special issue on our publications.
