Today at 5:30 pm in the Gold Student Center Multipurpose Room, Dining with Democracy is hosting AfghaniPanel 2009!
Jeffrey Stern (brother of Jenna Stern '10) graduated from Duke in 2007 and spent the next year living in Kabul, Afghanistan. Jeffrey is currently the International Engagement Manager at the National Constitution Center, developing international civics education and civil society building projects in Afghanistan. He has developed election education materials for illiterate and semi-literate Afghans in Dari and Pashto for the United Nations, and is currently managing a State Department grant to create reciprocal exhibitions at the National Museum in Kabul and at the National Constitution Center. He has worked in business development, women's rights and education in Afghanistan, and also written for Time Magazine, Time.com, Newsweek.com, Slate, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and Esquire.com.
Professor Edward Haley is currently the Director for the Center for Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights, the W.M. Keck Foundation Professor of International Strategic Studies and Chairman of the International Relations Program at Claremont McKenna College. He focuses primarily on US foreign policy relating to the eastern Mediterranean, the Gulf, and great power relations. In addition to numerous books and articles, his most recent publications include Strategies of Dominance: The Misdirection of U.S. Foreign Policy and Strategic Foreign Assistance: Civil Society in International Security. He has been awarded many fellowships and special recognitions, and has served on the staff for members of the US Senate and House of Representatives and as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army.
This event is tailor-made for college students to get a better understanding of the nuances of the war in Afghanistan, and the implications of the path the Obama administration will take. Many of us are up-t0-date on the current events and even weekly casualty counts while lacking a solid foundation. (I was in 8th grade when the war started, and it took me a long time to backtrack and begin understand the war from the ground to up.)
