Dr. Patrick James, director of the Center for International Studies at the University of Southern California, will be visiting St. Bonaventure University March 9-20 as a Lenna Endowed Visiting Professor.

James is one of the world’s top scholars in international relations and comparative politics. He will address audiences of students and scholars on a variety of topics, from offensive realism to global governance.

James will be giving a lecture at 7 p.m. on March 10 in the auditorium of the William F. Walsh Science Center. His lecture is free and open to the public.

James will also visit the Jamestown campus of Jamestown Community College to address the President’s Roundtable at 7:45 a.m. on March 18 in the Weeks Reception Room in the Arts & Science Building.

James is the recipient of numerous fellowships and awards, including the Louise Dyer Peace Fellowship from the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, the Milton R. Merrill Chair from Political Science at Utah State University, the Lady Davis Professorship of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Thomas Enders Professorship in Canadian Studies at the University of Calgary, the Senior Scholar award from the Canadian Embassy, Washington, D.C., the Eaton Lectureship at Queen’s University in Belfast, the Quincy Wright Scholar Award from the Midwest International Studies Association, and the Distinguished Scholar in Foreign Policy Analysis award from the International Studies Association.

James is the author of 11 books and has published more than 100 articles and book chapters. He is president of the Association for Canadian Studies in the United States and vice president of the International Studies Association.

James earned his doctorate from the University of Maryland, College Park.

Hosting a scholar of his caliber “will enhance the new international studies major at St. Bonaventure,” said Dr. Neal Carter, associate professor of political science.

The Lenna Endowed Visiting Professorship brings top scholars of their fields to St. Bonaventure and Jamestown Community College. The program, established in 1990, is funded through donations from Betty S. Lenna Fairbank and the late Reginald A. Lenna of Jamestown.
