Conversation with South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool
Folks: mark your calendars for an event I've organized on April 17th. Details below. I will award students who attend the event (from 6p-7:30p) five extra credit points on the third and final test. Please note, you have to RSVP to the email address below (cc me so I can ensure you receive credit).
"On behalf of Georgia State University and the Carter Center, please join us at the Commerce Club on April 17 for a discussion with Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool on Civic Approaches to Religious Radicalism. Parking will be complimentary. More information about the event, including the evening’s schedule, a background video, and directions to the Commerce Club, can be found here. Starting at 6:00p, the Ambassador will discuss his country’s post-apartheid, community-based solutions to effectively manage to the problem of militant religious extremism without sacrificing the core values of due process, human rights, and social justice. The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. Please contact Dr. Abbas Barzegar at civicapproaches@gsu.edu to reserve a seat."
