Your Attention Needed: Luncheon for Distinguished Scholar Honoree Jomo Sundaram

The Global South Caucus will hold its second Distinguished Scholar luncheon in honor of Dr. Jomo Sundaram in the (very nice) Urban Tavern Private Dining Room of the San Francisco Hilton on Friday April 5,  11.15am-12.30pm. Like last year when we honored Prof. Ali Mazrui, Prof. Sundaram will give a short talk.
Space is at a premium because of hotel limitations. Members wishing to attend will be accommodated on a first come, first serve basis and are asked to give a token donation of $10 ($5 for students) to help subsidize the event. Every effort will be made, as a priority, to accommodate persons who are presenting papers on GSCIS panels. Please let me know ASAP if you wish to attend.

Here is Dr. Sundaram's c.v. posted on the blog last year: Update: he is currently  Assistant Director-General, Economic and Social Development Department (FAO)
