PRINCETON, NJ -- Stephen H. Rogers, a former Foreign Service officer, will speak on "American Diplomacy: Personal Accounts of Practitioners" at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs on Wednesday, April 14 at 4:30 p.m. in Robertson Hall, Bowl 1.
Rogers, who graduated from Princeton in 1952, holds a master's degree in economics from Columbia University and a master's degree in public affairs from Harvard University. He has been a Foreign Service officer, an economic officer in New Delhi, Paris, London, and Mexico City, and a professor of international economic policy and international affairs adviser for the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, National Defense University. Rogers also served as ambassador to Swaziland from November 1990 to November 1993.
Rogers' current project is an oral history of Foreign Service personnel, which includes over 800 interviews to date. These interviews have been put on CD-ROM so that they are readily available for research purposes. Rogers' lecture will include a demonstration of the database.
