Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to invite you to attend a conference entitled /The "War
on Terrorism": Where Do We Stand?/ which will be held at the Cabot
Intercultural Center at Tufts University, 160 Packard Avenue, Medford,
MA, on Thursday, January 25 (starting at 3:00 pm) and all day on Friday,
January 26, 2007.
The purpose of this conference will be to assess the current state of
the "War on Terrorism"-- its causes, its costs, its impact, and proposed
solutions. The conference will start with a keynote address by Robert
Pape, Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago, and include
sessions on the topic's legal and religious aspects, on economic,
social, political, and media issues, and on U.S. foreign policy and
terrorism. Seymour M. Hersh, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and
contributor to /The New Yorker/ magazine, will offer concluding remarks.
The conference is being sponsored by the Fares Center for Eastern
Mediterranean Studies at Tufts, with the co-sponsorship of the Provost's
Office, the Wedge Foundation (Fares Family), the Jonathan M. Tisch
College of Citizenship and Public Service, the Fletcher School, and the
International Relations Program of Tufts University. The conference is
an important component of our efforts to advance students' understanding
of political, historical, social, demographic, and economic issues of
the Middle East through exposure to the views of distinguished world
leaders, academics, and policy makers. We wish to present our students
with a broad range of cultural perspectives and political opinions.
More information about the conference, including a current list of
