Last fall the IHC organized a series of panels titled "Thinking through the Catastrophe" and designed to
provide the campus and the local community with an opportunity to begin thinking through the complex
ramifications of the events of 9/11. In the year since then, much of the focus of national concern has been
the war on terrorism, which was declared by President Bush in the wake of 9/11 and strongly supported by Congress. How well is this war going and what are the prospects for success? How does it differ
from other wars? What have we learned about terrorism in the last year and how has this knowledge affected policy?

The IHC is pleased to return to the spirit and format of the series held a year ago with a panel focused on these and related questions.

This event is cosponsored by the UCSB Interdisciplinary Humanities Center and the Office of Community Relations.
