We would like to invite all who are interested in peace in the Middle East to participate in an interdisciplinary symposium at Southern Illinois University Carbondale on April 5 and 6, 2010.
Since the late nineteenth century, Palestine and Israel have been the focal point of conflict between Jews and Arabs. This conference will step back from the fray. It will explore ways in which ethics and mutual understanding might offer a higher road to peace than the clash of propaganda and force of arms.
Speakers: Mohammed Abu Nimer (American University), Tomis Kapitan (Northern Illinois University), Brian Klug (Oxford University; formerly chair of the Department of Philosophy at Saint Xavier University, Chicago, where he is now a Fellow of the College of Arts & Sciences), Hilla Medalia (Film Artist), John Pawlikowski (Catholic Theological Union, part of the ecumenical cluster of theological schools at the University of Chicago)
Screening: To Die in Jerusalem
