2/21/2005, Kristin at the The Boylan Blog writes,

With President Bush vowing to spread democracy across the globe, it is ever more imperative that students are informed about the world that lies east of Long Island.

A pioneering project from the University of London, created by students for students strives to bring to light the struggle for freedom of choice and thought in countries in North Africa, the Near and Middle East, and Central Asia. Thinking-east.net is a nonprofit e-publishing platform where students who live in these areas – about which most of us know shamefully little – provide a fresh and informative perspective on their lives.

In a special issue on elections, one can hear first-hand accounts of election concerns from students in Tajikstan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Get out your world atlas before you log on.

The editors, Ben Paarman and Christopher Schwartz, both students at U of L, are always looking for contributing writers, so if any of you know of students who live in those areas and speak at least some English, they would be happy to hear from you.
