October 16 - The Gaza War in Context
Join UNH Professor Jeannie Sowers (Chair of UNH Dep’t. of Political Science and International Affairs) to discuss the current war in Gaza from political and economic perspectives over the past few decades. Prof. Sowers conducted research in Gaza and the West Bank during the first intifada, or uprising, in 1988-89. Her recent research on the targeting of civilian infrastructure in Middle Eastern wars took her to Ramallah (West Bank), Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Amman (Jordan) to talk with human rights & aid organizations.
