James Rauch: The Three Arab Worlds

UCSD economist James Rauch breaks the Arab world down into its sub-Saharan African, fuel-endowed, and Mediterranean components and compares socioeconomic progress in each to its rest-of-the-world counterparts. His findings contradict the belief, popularized by the UN Arab Human Development Reports, in a monolithic Arab world that has failed to modernize. This program is made available to UCSD-TV by the Alternate Focus series.

James Rauch: The Three Arab Worlds
Premieres Monday, August 9 at 8:30pm
and re-airs throughout the month.

Research on Aging Returns to UCSD-TV

After a short hiatus, UC San Diego’s Stein Institute for Research on Aging (SIRA) is back on UCSD-TV! Each month we’ll present a new program focusing on the latest in healthy aging — whether it’s breakthrough research conducted by SIRA’s medical faculty or an update on available treatment options.

Tune in Thursday, August 12 at 8pm for the kick-off of SIRA’s renewed season:

Research on Aging: Is Hormone Therapy Useful or Harmful for Women?
