RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — An Egyptian athlete who refused to shake his Israeli opponent's hand after their judo bout has been reprimanded and sent home from the Rio Olympics, officials said Monday.
The International Olympic Committee said Islam El Shehaby received a "severe reprimand" for his behavior following his first-round heavyweight bout loss to Or Sasson on Friday.
It's an idea as old as history itself: turning to the record of past affairs to glean lessons for the present and insights for the future.
But all too often in modern academia, history professors don't have much of an opportunity to communicate with those in other academic disciplines such as international relations. In fact, they're not even in the same family of academia. History, you see, resides among the humanities while international relations dwells in the social sciences along with political science, linguistics, and sociology.
