Colleges of the Fenway is collaborating with faculty and administrators from across the member institutions to offer a series of educational opportunities for students, faculty and staff seeking to expand our collective understanding of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and to facilitate our capacity to engage in constructive dialogue across differing opinions.
Faculty experts from Emmanuel College will share their knowledge of the history of the Middle East, the current war between Israel and Hamas, and help provide context for how we here in the United States understand this conflict. The goal of the program is to foster opportunities for learning and understanding.
This will be virtual event hosted via Zoom Webinar. There will be time for questions.
