Carr Center Hosts Discussions on Future of Afghanistan: http://www.hks.harvard.edu/news-events/n
Carr Center for Human Rights Policy
America's total air supremacy in the skies over Afghanistan has enabled an unprecedented level of support to our troops and allies on the ground. A vast network of sensors, operators, and aircraft stretches across the globe to put intelligence and surveillance assets where needed, deliver precise firepower to our troop...s and allies under attack by the Taliban, and to provide unparalleled medevac to those in need. Airpower's role in COIN is traditionally unheralded, indeed the latest COIN manual contains only a few pages on the subject. Yet today's military is increasingly reliant on airpower to prosecute the COIN fight, and the capabilities provided by air and space assets in today's fight are proving invaluable in America's efforts to build a better future in Afghanistan. This presentation will examine the role being played by air power; its strengths, weaknesses, and overall impact on the war in Afghanistan.
Brig. Gen. James M. "Mike" Holmes is the Commander, 455th Air Expeditionary Wing, Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan. He is responsible for the air and support operations at two bases and one operating location supporting Operation Enduring Freedom and the International Security Assistance Force. General Holmes entered the Air Force through Officer Training School in 1981 after receiving a degree in electrical engineering from the University of Tennessee. His commands include a fighter squadron, a specialized undergraduate pilot training group and a fighter wing. He also served as Chief, Checkmate, Directorate of Operational Plans and Joint Matters. He has worked on the headquarters U.S. European Command, Pacific Air Forces and U.S. Air Force staffs. He most recently served as PACAF's Director of Strategic Plans, Programs and International Affairs, Hickam AFB, Hawaii. He is a command pilot with over 3,400 flying hours in all variants of the F-15.
Co-sponsored with the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
Light refreshments will be served.

Carr Center for Human Rights Policy
Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing human rights crises of modern time. Scholars and practitioners continue to analyze and dissect this issue as research develops. Since human trafficking is linked to underground networks of organized crime and corruption, it remains a complex subject to study.
As awareness ...of this crisis continues to rise and new projects and initiatives develop, evolved systems of data collection and information exchange have emerged through coordination and cooperation of researchers and local non-governmental organizations on the frontlines. Collaboration on these systems is still a work in progress, but tremendous gains in the field have been made. Scholars and practitioners can now rely on more advanced data to drive focused research and design interventions.
This online conference will focus on best practices to collect data from official sources and will provide resources on past and current systems. The discussion will be moderated by Amy Farrell, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, College of Criminal Justice and Associate Director, Institute on Race and Justice, Northeastern University and will look at the methodologies used in past and current data collection.
The Panel:
Duren Banks, Chief, Prosecution and Adjudication Statistics Unit, Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Department of Justice
Elzbieta Gozdziak, Ph.D., Director of Research, Institute for the Study of International Migration (ISIM), Georgetown University

Timothy Patrick McCarthy, Lecturer on History and Literature, Adjunct Lecturer on Public Policy, and Faculty Affiliate at the Carr Center will deliver the 2009 Nicholas Papadopoulos Lecture. Dr. McCarthy's lecture, "Stonewall's Children: Life, Loss, and Love after Liberation," will commemorate the 40th Anniversary of S...tonewall, the June 1969 rebellion in New York's West Village that helped to spark the modern LGBT movement.
The Papadopoulos Lectures are named for Nicholas Papadopoulos, who received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in engineering from Harvard University. After Nick's death from complications of AIDS in 1994, his mother created a fund in his name to support lectures about gay and lesbian studies or of interest to the gay and lesbian communities at Harvard.
This year's Papadopoulos Lecture is sponsored by the Harvard College Dean's Office, Harvard College Women's Center, Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, Harvard Gay and Lesbian Caucus, Harvard College Queer Students and Allies, Harvard College Democrats, Institute of Politics, Kennedy School LGBT Caucus, and the Committee on Degrees in Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality.
