Class blog

We are using a class blog to post about news and current events related to international conflict & security. The blog is located at jkrpos386.wordpress.com. In the second week of the semester, I will send invites to your albany.edu email address to invite you as a blog contributor. On Blackboard, you will find a link to a sign-up sheet for a date when you will post on the blog.
