The Gumbé

The Gumbé is intended to both inform the ISS membership, and to engage the wider reading public. As an ISS “newsletter” it keeps our membership abreast of upcoming events and related member activities, and as a publicly accessible “blog” it engages serious readers in the critically relevant debates of our day. It is a place for mixed reading publics to interact and engage one another. While “comments” are limited to active ISS members, “letters to the editor” from nonmembers are published within 2-3 days of receipt. If you are a member and would like to contribute to The Gumbé, or make an announcement to the membership, please contact us.
