U.S. Agenda on War: An Open Dialogue

“As a Vietnamese refugee from a communist victory, I am well aware that I was let into the United States because it was advantageous for the United States to show the evils of communism. Likewise, Ukrainian refugees are welcome now because it is in the interest of the West and the United States to demonstrate the evils of Putin.” ÔÇòViet Thanh Nguyen

Come and engage in an open dialogue that analyzes historical and current wars through a critical lens. We will be examining how the U.S. and other western countries’ response to war highlights the contrasts in media coverage of crises; approaches to managing refugees depending on racial/ethnic categorization; and the political motivations behind these differences.

This event is open to all members of the 5-college community including students, staff, faculty, and alumni.
