Is ISIS a Threat to International Peace and Security?
Professor of Political Science Sharon Murphy will discuss the origins, ideology and tactics of ISIS, the so-called Islamic State, in Iraq, Syria and across the globe. How serious is the threat it poses? How does it distinguish itself from Al Qaeda? What other terrorist groups associate themselves with it?
Dr. Harry Murray, Director of the Peace and Justice Studies Program at Nazareth, will respond to Murphy’s presentation, offering his own insights. We are especially interested in questions from audience to round out this conversation on one of the most troubling international problems of recent times.
This event is free and open to the public.
