Bombings in Paris, Beirut and Ankara

The recent terrorist attacks in Paris, Beirut, Ankara and other locations shock human conscience and raise unsettling questions. The University of Richmond is a global institution; to help the University community make sense of and cope with these events and their consequences, the School of Arts and Sciences organized two teach-in sessions. Several faculty and students with expertise and personal experience shared brief remarks to lead off an informal dialogue with those in attendance. We invite you to view the videos of each day's discussion below. The list of panelists for each session is provided.
