Dalai Lama Forum by Indian students
Time : Wednesday 7pm
Location: the east hall atrium
Speaker: Professor Donald Lopez
==================================================
As members of the Indian American Student Association's Political Awareness Core, ours goals are to increase awareness on campus about political, social, and economic issues. We are organizing an event on Wednesday, April 9, 2008 about the recent protests in Tibet against the Chinese government and the role of the Dalai Lama in this conflict. This event will increase awareness and spur discussion on both sides of this issue. We hope to have Donald Lopez, an esteemed Asian Studies professor specializing in Tibetan politics, speak at our event and answer questions from the audience. We also anticipate this event to be a forum for discussion in which audience members can voice their views.
We are expecting a large audience, and would greatly appreciate your help. We feel our dialogue would be enhanced by the presence of diverse campus organizations, such as yours. We hope you will participate by contributing speakers, helping with logistics, or just being active members of the audience! Please contact Zainub Naqvi (znaqvi@umich.edu) or Arjun Venkat (arjunv@umich.edu) with any questions or to get involved.
We hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
IASA Political Awareness Core 2008
