Upcoming events

I’m heading back to the U.S. next week for a couple of events – and to squeeze in some more interviews whilst I’m at it. For anyone in Chicago or D.C., here are the details:

Inaugural Symposium of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center April 20, 11am

“Past & Present: Media and Legal Perspectives on Genocide Awareness and Prevention”

I’m on a panel, moderated by Amb. David Scheffer, entitled: In Our Own Time: Atrocity Crimes on Trial

The other panelists are:

-Hassan Jallow, Prosecutor, International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda

-Jerry Fowler, President of the Save Darfur Coalition and founding director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Committee on Conscience

-Grant Dawson, Deputy Chef De Cabinet, U.N. International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia

Center for American Progress April 23, 6.30-7.30pm

“Are Activists to Blame?”

In light of all the recent attention on the role of activists in the Darfur crisis (see post on Mamdani), Executive Director of the Enough Project and the Center for American Progress, John Norris, and I willing be addressing questions such as: Does foreign policy “activism” do more harm than good? How can an active and engaged citizen constituency positively influence U.S. foreign policy? Our discussion will be in a town hall style format, so if you’re in D.C. come along prepared to engage.
