DESCRIPTION:President Obama removed Cuba from the State Department’s list of “state 
 sponsors of terrorism” in 2015, a small step in weakening the embargo of 
 Cuba that was already nearly 60 years old. President Trump reversed that 
 decision, and President Biden has not undone this meritless designation. 
 The unjustified blockade or embargo inflicts great human suffering on the 
 people of Cuba and must end. Professor Mark Ginsburg will discuss the 
 current state of affairs in Cuba, efforts to change U.S. government policy 
 and developments in Cuba, including the new constitution that was approved 
 in 2019. \n\nMark Ginsburg is a Visiting Scholar in the International 
 Education Policy program at University of Maryland (USA). Although he is 
 now retired, he continues to work with graduate students on their research. 
 He has also served on the faculty at the University of Aston (Birmingham, 
 England); University of Houston; University of Pittsburgh; University  of 
 Oslo (Norway); Teachers College, Columbia University; Kobe University 
 (Japan); George Washington University; and Universidad de Ciencias 
 Pedagógicas “Enrique José Varona” (Cuba). Previously, he was 
 president of the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES, 
 1991–2) and coeditor of the Comparative Education Review (2003–2013). 
 He has (co) authored or (co)edited eight books, five special issues of 
 journals, and over 140 journal articles and book chapters.\n\nJoin Zoom
