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.
November 16, 3:30-5pm, Calder Lounge, Uris Hall
“Community Discussion: War and Peace in Israel/Palestine”
Professors Yinon Cohen (Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi Professor of Israel and Jewish Studies) and Rashid Khalidi (Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies)
