Here is a list of upcoming GSI events.

Date Event
Summer 2008 The Starr Institute events schedule has gone into hibernation for the summer break. In the fall, however, a new lecture series, modeled on our very successful Genocide series in the spring, will have as its theme “Diaspora”.

The series will concern the estimated 27 million global refugees and the economic and political problems caused by and for stateless peoples. We hope to address problems such as the economic confusion caused by the hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants in the U.S., the cultural problems of Muslim immigrants in Europe, and the life threatening problems of the peoples in Africa who are refugees from war and political oppression.

In addition, the Starr Institute staff is currently working on this year’s edition of “The Starr Report” which will chronicle the events of the past year and discuss their impact on USM and our surrounding community.

Have a great summer. Go abroad if you can, particularly to a country in the so-called Third World. It’s a different game entirely. As Christians, and as Americans, we have a responsibility to take an interest in the global community and to do what we can to make it better.
