2017 Fall: 70th Annual 博拉研讨会
This year’s 博拉研讨会, a program devoted to understanding the causes of war and the conditions for establishing a lasting peace, 是10月. 16-17 on the 365滚球官网 campus. The annual event moves to the fall this year as it celebrates its 70th anniversary.
“这70年th anniversary 博拉研讨会 provides an opportunity for people to grow a hopeful perspective on the prospects for peace leadership in an increasingly tense world,” said Steven Daley-Laursen, co-chair of the 博拉委员会. “We can be inspired by historical partnerships that launched an international effort to outlaw war, and by emerging leaders and leadership process for peace in our future.”
The symposium begins with the keynote address, “The Role of Women in World Peace,” by Nobel Peace Prize winner and human rights activist 希林·伊巴迪 晚上7点.m. 周一,10月. 16 in the International Ballroom in the Bruce M. 皮特曼中心.
Ebadi is a former chief magistrate of 26th Divisional Court in Tehran. In 1979, immediately after the Islamic revolution in Iran, all female judges were dismissed as the then-revolutionaries believed that women were forbidden from passing judgment. She was demoted to the post of a magistrate's clerk in the very same court over which she once presided. 后不久, she opted for early retirement and became a defense lawyer for many controversial political and human rights cases in Iran. Ebadi won the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize for her work.
The symposium continues on Tuesday, Oct. 17, with a presentation by 勒罗伊阿什比, a Regents professor emeritus at Washington State University and biographer of William E. 博拉. Ashby will present the “The Life and Times of William Edgar 博拉” at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday in the International Ballroom.
The symposium concludes with the presentation “的国际主义者: How a Radical Plan to Outlaw War Remade the World” by 斯科特·夏皮罗查尔斯·F. Southmayd professor of law and professor of philosophy at Yale Law School. Shapiro and his colleague Oona Hathaway recently published the New York Times bestseller of the same title, which offers a history of international law as it has evolved from the 17th century through the present. The presentation is 晚上7点.m. Tuesday in the International Ballroom.
All events are free and open to the public.
70年th anniversary of the 博拉研讨会 is sponsored by the William Edgar 博拉 Outlawry of War Foundation, a separately endowed foundation operated out of the UI’s 马丁研究所 in the College of Letters, 艺术与社会科学.
