Arts and Sciences Community Discussions
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.
This afternoon we invite you to join our next Community Discussion:
Participants: 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).
Please note that the room has a capacity of 60 people. Please RSVP here or via the above link in the title. When the room is at capacity the event will be closed to new participants. We will continue to hold events in this series so that all can participate in these conversations.
Additional Community Discussions Planned:
“Community Discussion: Racism, Antisemitism and Islamophobia”
November 28, 3:30-5pm, Location TBA
Participants: Rebecca Kobrin (Russell and Bettina Knapp Associate Professor of American Jewish History; Co-Director, Institute for Jewish Studies), Emmanuelle Saada (Professor of French; Chair, Department of French ), and Claudia Breger (Villard Professor of German and Comparative Literature; Chair, Department of Germanic Languages).
