Date/time for the colloquium:
Thursday, January 30, 7 PM, MG 2001

As one of the longest ongoing international conflicts in the world, the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict has generated international controversy and global dissension.  Six students will present on this issue and share their perspectives based on their research and personal experiences traveling this past summer through Israel and the West Bank as part of a Middle East Study Abroad course.  Topics include the Separation Wall, U.S. involvement in the conflict and peace negotiations, Israel’s Settlers Movement, U.N. Security Council Resolutions 242 and 348, the Gaza Strip, and Iran-Israeli relations.

There will be a Q and A following the presentations
