"The event was a success. A lot of students attended, and the panel provided a good overview of the historical significance of the German reunification. The question-and-answer session continued informally over delicious food and exquisite beverages."
- Imke Brust, Visiting Assistant Professor of German organized a panel discussion, 1990-2010: 20 Years of German Reunification in Global Context.
In 2010-11, the Center sponsored a wide variety of campus events, including visits to campus by many distinguished speakers, music performances and film showings. Through the On-Campus Events Fund, we successfully supported 10 projects organized and led by students and faculty.
Examples include:
- "Intersecting Zones: The Art World in Ghana", a symposium and photo exhibition that explored issues of art, access and education in Ghana.
- "Islam, Modernity and the Public Sphere", a panel discussion featuring three scholars whose complementary perspectives broadened and deepened the Haverford community's knowledge of the role Islam has played in civil society.
- ""Speaking Out: Oral History and Human Rights", a symposium that brought together editors and oral history gatherers of two recent books that narrate human rights crises in Zimbabwe and Burma.
