A panel of educators will discuss terrorism during a UW-L sponsored program March 4.
“What is terrorism?” begins at 3 p.m. Wednesday, March 4, in the Ward Room, Cartwright Center. Admission is free.
The panel puts into question the commonly accepted notion that terrorism means any act of violence by a Muslim. Panel speakers will discuss multiple forms of unpredictable and fear-inducing violence that occurs against vulnerable groups in American society. Richard Breaux, Ethnic and Racial Studies, will speak about attacks on African-American churches. Gita Pai, History, will discuss shootings at the Sikh temple in Wisconsin. Other panelists include Gerry Iguchi, History; Tim Kullman, Psychology; and Beth Hartung, Options Clinic, La Crosse.
There will be time for discussion following the panel discussion. The program is sponsored by a number of UW-L offices and academic departments.
