Open House to Feature Working Groups
November 8th is ICAR's Third Annual Open House. This event brings together students, faculty, alumni, and friends of ICAR for an evening of networking and socializing. The event does not have a formal program, so everyone is welcome to drop in for as little or as long as they are able. We'll have appetizers and drinks and information on ICAR's ongoing student and faculty projects for this year.
ICAR's student working groups will be on hand to share their fall semester programs. The Public Policy Working Group recently concluded a four day policy conference, in coordination with ICAR professor Richard Rubenstein and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, titled "Partnering for Peace:
Transatlantic Concepts for Conflict Resolution in Public Policy". The conference brought together policymakers and conflict resolution practitioners from the U.S. and the European Union to discuss how to integrate conflict resolution into policy making processes. The Middle East Working Group recently hosted a round table featuring members of the Israeli-Palestinian Bereaved Families for Peace to talk about grassroots peace efforts between Palestinians and Israelis. This, and more, will be on display at the Open House. We look forward to seeing you Thursday, November 8th from 6:00 pm-9:00 pm in the Truland Building, Room 555.
