2. Job Posting - Education/Youth Workforce Development Specialist at US Agency for International Development
The Education/Youth Workforce Development Specialist will play a vital role in supporting USAID LAC Bureau’s mandate to increase the reach and impact of its education programs that deal with at-risk youth, and prevention of youth gangs and violence. Reducing crime and violence in the region is one of four LAC Bureau priorities in its second term agenda under the Obama administration. USAID is focused on addressing the root causes of citizen insecurity, both because of adverse consequences for U.S. national security, and because crime and violence is undermining economic development and democratic progress in affected LAC countries. With several LAC countries having murder rates in the top ten globally, LAC (especially Central America, Mexico, and parts of the Caribbean) is among the most violent regions in the world.

Greetings to our CIES Religion and Education SIG members and all those interested in exploring the link between religion and education! We welcome proposals for the 2015 Annual CIES meeting at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC.

The Teaching Comparative Education SIG brings together scholars, instructors, and graduate students of comparative and international education from around the world.

- What are the central concepts, theories, and methods that current and future Comparative and International Education (CIE) students need to learn? How are they currently being taught?
- What are the purposes, and toward what ends, does Comparative and International Education serve? What are the intellectual and social aims of CIE? How does (and should) this inform the teaching of CIE?
- Given the changing career trajectories of graduates of CIE programs, how should CIE professors prepare students for careers outside of the academy?
- How is the increased attention to skills and competencies across schools of education impacting the teaching of CIE? What social, political, and economic trends seem to be held in common across a host of countries, thereby influencing how CIE is taught or how it should be taught?
