"The U.S. Invasion of Iraq: Intended or Unintended Consequences?"
an evening with peace activist Noor Ghazi
Tuesday, June 25, 2024 5:00 PM PDT
live stream at
youtube.com/peaceandjusticeworks
Noor Ghazi, an Iraqi-American peace activist based in the United
States,
will appear on a livestream presentation on
Tuesday, June 25. Ms. Ghazi will speak about the history of US involvement
in Iraq, including the effects of sanctions
and the 1991 "Gulf War," the 2003 US invasion, and the resulting 20+ years
of turmoil in her native land. Her personal
experience makes this more than a recitation of history.
The event will be hosted by KBOO's Lisa Loving. The presentation
will be followed by a moderated Q&A.
Ms. Ghazi holds an MA in Peace and Conflict Studies with a focus on
International Peace Development. She serves as
Director of the University Sponsorship Program at Guilford College with
Every Campus A Refuge (ECAR). Her
involvement as a professor of practice at UNC Chapel Hill-US and visiting
lecturer at Mosul University-Iraq has allowed
her to dedicate time to peace projects, including a documentary
highlighting life under ISIS in Mosul. With a strong
emphasis on conflict in Iraq's modern history, Ms. Ghazi actively fosters
collaborative efforts for peace building by
creating inclusive platforms that unite diverse voices towards a more
peaceful future in the region.
Instructions for participating in the Q&A period after Ms. Ghazi's
presentation will be posted at the time of the event, which will be
livestreamed on YouTube at
youtube.com/peaceandjusticeworks. The
presentation is coordinated by Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity
Group (IAG). It is cosponsored by War Resisters League-Portland Chapter,
Peace Action Group at First Unitarian and Alliance for Democracy. It is
endorsed by Oregon Progressive Party
and partially funded by the IAG's Ruth Holt Memorial Peace
Journey Fund.
