Dr. John Tirman, Researcher, MIT
Sponsored by LIPW and International Studies Program, F&M
Forum Focus: “The Deaths of Others: The Fate of Civilians and Their Cultures in America’s Wars”
Lancaster Interchurch Peace Witness has given special attention to the environmental, human and economic cost/impact of war. LIPW’s Annual 2014 Meeting featured a case study which examined an international consortium to clear unexploded cluster bombs in Laos left over from the 1964-73 bombings. We are focusing on the immediately affected countries as well as the physical and moral injury of American military personnel and the diversion of economic resources from the domestic economy to the whole military enterprise.
Executive Director of the Center for International Studies, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dr. John Tirman joins us for a this two day event co-sponsored by Franklin and Marshall College’s International Studies Program. Tirman attended Indiana University (B.A. 1972) and earned his Doctorate at Boston University where he specialized in political theory with Howard Zinn. At MIT he heads the Persian Gulf Initiative which has conducted ground breaking work on Iraq War mortality and United States-Iran relations. He is editor, co-editor and co-author of several collected volumes including The Maze of Fear: Security & Migration After 9/11 (2004); Terror, Insurgency and the State (2007) and Multilateralism Under Challenge, Power, International Order and Structural Change (2006).
