Join UW faculty on Tuesday, Nov. 24 for a roundtable discussion on “Paris II: Making Sense of the World” in Thomson Hall 101 at 7 p.m.
On Nov. 13, a terrorist spree in Paris left more than 125 innocent civilians dead and nearly 400 with injuries. ISIS has claimed responsibility. Since then, France has bombed Syria in a series of airstrikes, and other nations are considering military action. And more than half of U.S. governors say refugees from Syria are no longer welcome in their states. As The Guardian newspaper asks: Have the Paris attacks changed the rules of the game? Join us in discussing how governments and governors, ordinary citizens and public intellectuals are reacting to this latest violent assault by ISIS in the West, and a historical context that may shed light on what’s next.
