The Arab Spring and Beyond: Where did it come from, where is it going, and what does it mean?
International Affairs Conference
Uprisings in the Arab world have captured our attention. Internationally recognized speakers address how and why the revolutions happened, what political changes might result and what impact the U.S. has on unfolding events.
Morning theme talks are followed by lively Q&A. In the afternoons explore the island, take an art workshop with Julia Morgan-Leamon (see “An Artist Paints the Egyptian Revolution” at www.time.com), enjoy a yoga class or relax on the hotel porch overlooking the harbor. Intergenerational evening activities and timely topic talks. Well-regarded youth program with thematic tie-in.
Guest Speakers: Hisham Melhem, Washington Bureau Chief of Al-Arabiya; Jon Alterman, Director & Senior Fellow, Center for Strategic & International Studies; Michele Dunne, Director, Atlantic Council, Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East; Jillian Schwedler, Ass. Prof. of political science, UMass Amherst.
Minister: Rev. Parisa Parsa, First Church, Milton, MA.
