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 
topics and speakers, is available at http://farescenter.tufts.edu. If 
you are interested in registering for the conference, please contact the 
Tufts University Conference Center by fax at 617-627-3856, or by 
telephone 617-627-3568, or e-mail to conferences at tufts.edu

I speak for everyone at Tufts when I say that we would be delighted and 
honored by your presence. 

 Sincerely,


Leila Fawaz
