At times of conflict—when the world is looking with dismay at the devastating loss of life, or when disagreement about politics, policy, or values is dividing communities near and far—many are looking for ways to create common ground on campus. How can we make room for agreement as well as disagreement, discovery, and learning? In this spirit—which is also the spirit of our Core Curriculum—Arts and Sciences is offering a series of Community Discussions that will bring together faculty with relevant expertise and students who want to join the conversation, welcoming diverging perspectives to build greater mutual understanding.
Community Discussion: War and Peace in Israel/Palestine
Professors Nadia Abu El-Haj (Ann Whitney Olin Professor in the Departments of Anthropology at Barnard College and Columbia University, Co-Director of the Center for Palestine Studies) and Naor H. Ben-Yehoyada (Assistant Professor of Anthropology).
Registration is appreciated, but not required.
Coffee and refreshments will be available.
