Endangered Scholars Worldwide
Panel Discussion
at The New School
Thursday, February 7, 2008
5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Free and open to the public. Reception to follow.
Join us for an evening discussion on the plight of endangered scholars around the world with a panel of scholars who have faced imprisonment, have been forced into exile from their home countries in order to escape persecution, or were denied a visa to speak in the US. We hope the event will provide a forum for these scholars to share their stories and place those stories in the broader context of global challenges to academic and intellectual freedom.
Disasters: Recipes and Remedies
Thursday-Friday, November 1-2, 2007
The latest Social Research conference explored the commonalities of all disasters. The participants examined the unequal protection and treatment of populations made vulnerable by their location and or socioeconomic status; the impact of disasters on the economy and overall human development; how hazards develop into disasters; and how design factors either mitigate or amplify their effects.
