Syracuse University’s forum series on terrorism to be broadcast on Time Warner Cable beginning Dec. 12November 30, 2001Kelly Homan Rodoskikahoman@syr.edu

The University Forum: A Global Response to Terrorism, a forum series held at Syracuse University during October and November in response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the ensuing global crisis, will be broadcast by Time Warner Cable on six consecutive Wednesdays beginning Dec. 12.

The forums will be aired at 7 p.m. on Time Warner Cable Channel 3 in the city of Syracuse and on Time Warner Cable Channel 14 in the Syracuse suburbs.

“We view it as the obligation of a great university to do what it can to educate students and community members during an extraordinary time of national crisis,” says David M. Rubin, dean of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and chair of the committee that organized the forums. “We hope that these forums help viewers understand more clearly the history leading up to the events of September 11, the threats we face, and the response of the government and the news media. We also hope that these forums will forge a closer bond between SU and the citizens of Syracuse. We are all in this together.”

The dates of broadcast, topics and panelists of the six forums include the following:

 

  • Dec. 12— “Some Origins of the Crisis.” Panelists are Tazim Kassam, associate professor of religion in SU’s College of Arts and Sciences; J.

  • Dec. 26— “U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East: Is This the Key to Peace?” Panelists are Margaret Hermann, Gerald B. and Daphna Cramer Professor of Global Affairs and director of the Global Affairs Institute at the Maxwell School; Mehrzad Boroujerdi, associate professor of political science in The College of Arts and Sciences and the Maxwell School; and Amos Kiewe, associate dean and associate professor of speech communication in SU’s College of Visual and Performing Arts.
