Subject: The May 19 Conference at Nanaterre Published Online.



22 January 2012
Grenoble, France

Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
We are happy to inform you that at last our May 19 Conference on “Ethics and US Foreign Policy” is accessible on the Internet. This series of films was published several months ago on the CEIMSA site at the University of California, but the public domain on You Tube is much superior and access is immediate.

We wish you an enjoyable experience listening to these discussions by concerned scholars and artists on the question of US foreign policy manipulations and public opinion.

Sincerely,
Francis McCollum Feeley
Professor of American Studies
Université Stendhal Grenoble 3
