On February 21st, 2024, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Frank Porter Graham Student Union Auditorium, two UNC political scientists, Jeff Spinner-Halev and Navin Bapat, discuss the political conflict between Israel and Palestine as part of the Abbey Speaker Series. Spinner-Halev regularly teaches a course titled "Ethics of Peace, War, and Defense". His most recent book (co-authored with Elizabeth Theiss-Morse) is Respect and Loathing in American Democracy. Professor Bapat's research interests include examining conflicts involving violent non-state actors, such as insurgencies and terrorist campaigns. This event is co-sponsored by the Carolina Center for Jewish Studies, the UNC Center for Middle East and Islamic Studies, and the Peace, War, and Defense Department. CLE credit available for this event
