Dear All,

I hope you had a great spring break. The Joiner Institute is looking forward to Iraq War veteran and peace activist Paul K Chappell's visit next week for his talk "Why Peace Is Possible: Exploring the Anatomy of Violence and War" on Wednesday March 29th at 3:00 pm in Campus Ballroom B. 

We hope you will invite students and classes in your department to attend Paul's lecture. We have Ballroom B in the Campus Center reserved with a capacity of 150 people. There will also be free pizza! Paul encourages conversation and dialogue so we hope students have some good questions to ask as well.

Attached is a primer on Paul's work that can be shared with students and professors to give a bit of background on Paul's work and project. Please feel free to share with your departments.

Let me know if you have any questions, we look forward to seeing you next week at Paul's talk. Click for the Facebook event and the UMB Event page.

Many thanks to our co-sponsors for helping make this event possible: UMass Boston Honors College, History Department, Philosophy Department, and Political Science Department.

My best,

Mitch
