Perceptions in 21st Century Conflict: Islamic State and Ukraine
Date and time
Location
Chancellors' Building 1.12
University of Bath Bath BA2 7AY United KingdomDescription
This interactive virtual Q&A session aims to widen our perceptions of two of the most widely reported ongoing conflicts in the world today; the fight against so called 'Islamic State' (IS) in Iraq and Syria, and the civil conflict in Eastern Ukraine.
Within a 45 minute session, one for each conflict zone, the audience will be able to engage with two civilians on the ground via Skype, one on either 'side' of the conflict, as well as hear from the perspective of a 'western' policy expert for the region in question.
Following the interactive lecture a free drinks reception will be held in order to allow participants to debate/discuss the various perspectives they have heard with colleagues and friends.
