Preventing Conflict by Promoting
Civil Society and Diplomacy


co-sponsored by the Hunter College Chapter of
Americans for Informed Democracy

Saturday, April 7, 2007 | 11 A.M. - 2 P.M. | Hunter College

How significant of a threat does Iran pose to the U.S. and Israel? How can the international community promote civil society without undermining Iranian national pride? How can we effectively discuss issues that are politically and religiously sensitive?

Ervand Abrahamian (Baruch College) will discuss Iranian foreign policy, the autonomy of the Iranian people, and civil society's role in Iranian politics

Alice Slater (Nuclear Age Peace Foundation)
will discuss the effectiveness of grassroots efforts and how to mobilize Americans to promote diplomacy toward Iran

Bob Zuber (Global Action to Prevent War) will discuss substantive entry-level jobs in conflict resolution and social entrepreneurship in the field

A brief panel discussion will be followed by an open dialogue between the experts and attendees. Come share your views on the topic and find out how to have the most impact on conflict resolution. Refreshments will be served.
