Week of 9/1/08: Iraqi Refugees

This Tuesday (9/2) we will be discussing the plight of Iraqi refugees who have fled their country as a result of the 2003 Anglo-American invasion. The meeting will begin with a short film from Joshua van Praag about Iraqi refugees in Egypt (Barbara Harrell Bond, a leading academic in refugee studies and founder of the Refugee Studies Program at Oxford, helped supervise the production). We'll conclude the meeting with letters addressed to our senators and representatives.

I hope everyone enjoyed the game this weekend for those who went despite the blast furnace temperature. Have a relaxing Labor Day holiday and Go Dawgs!
