Western Bombs, Eastern Societies: The Destruction of Nations and Responsibility to Protect (R2P)

Wednesday, October 5, 2016 - 5:00pm to 6:30pm
Katz Building Auditorium, Penn State University
Sponsored By: 
Department of Asian Studies, the Department of Comparative Literature, the Weiss Chair of the Humanities, the Department of History, and the School of International Affairs

After the fiasco of the Iraq War of 2003, the West pushed for a new mandate through the UN called the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) in 2005. This new mandate revived ideas of humanitarian intervention that had been called into question from the detritus of Iraq. No lessons were learned. After R2P came Libya, a society now in ruins, and then came Syria, a country whose civil war had been fanned along even as no good outcome seemed on the horizon. Presented by Dr. Vijay Prashad from Trinity College, this talk will explore the landscape of intervention and its perils.

Geographies of Power: Justice, Revolution, and the Cultural Imagination

Friday, April 26, 2013 (All day) to Saturday, April 27, 2013 (All day)
Nittany Lion Inn, State College, PA
Sponsored By: 
Pennsylvania State University, Worldwide Universities Network, University of Alberta, University of Cape Town, The University of York

Using historical analysis and cross-cultural awareness, this conference will emphasize shifting geographies of power in the period between the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the 2011 Arab Spring. The project is premised on the idea that “the frontiers of cultural understanding” are undergoing a transformation that can only be appreciated through a cross-cultural perspective and a multi-disciplinary methodology that is alert to the historical precedents behind current geopolitical and cultural conflicts.
