In light of the September 11 attacks on the United States, most Americans have asked how religion could come to play a role in such violent actions. This panel of experts in the fields of religiously motivated conflict and terrorism, provides an opportunity for the MIT community to learn more about religion and political violence. The panel will consider causes underlying religious violence in cases such as the civil war in Sri Lanka, the unrest in Northern Ireland, and the Isreali-Palestinian conflict, to name a few. Panelists include: David Little, Harvard Divinity School; Louise Richardson, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study; Marc Gopin, Fletcher School of International Law and Diplomacy; Heather Gregg, Political Science, MIT. Moderater: Roger Petersen, MIT Prof. of Political Science.
