As a part of Parents Weekend, IGL Director Abi Williams will be giving a speech about "Preventing Deadly Conflict" in the Granoff Music Center, Distler Performance Hall on Saturday.
The IGL will be hosting an information session and reception this Saturday at 1:30 in Lane Hall room 100. Please join us to learn how we are preparing new generations of critical thinkers for effective and ethical leadership. We will have a panel with representatives from various student groups, such as EPIIC, ALLIES, Oslo Scholars, and Tufts International Development (TID), who will be sharing their experiences and answering any questions.
Come join the ALLIES weekly discussion on the re-alignment of the Middle East as Israel and Sunni Gulf states ally together against Iran as well if the United States needs to seriously reconsider its relationship with Saudi Arabia. Joining us will be professor Hayat Alvi, Professor of international relations at the Naval War College and a former Assistant Professor of Political Science at American University in Cairo. Professor Alvi has written extensively on the Sunni-Shia rivalry and is an expert on comparative politics and American foreign policy in the Middle East.
The international symposium is an annual public forum designed and enacted by EPIIC students. It features international practitioners, academics, public intellectuals, activists and journalists who come to Tufts each year for four days of discussion and debate in panels and small-group discussions determined by students in the EPIIC course. Students who conduct research projects also have the opportunity to present alongside the invited experts.
