Monthly MISF Meeting

February 18 "The Arab Spring"
What has come to be called the Arab Spring is one of the most compelling stories of 2011. Starting in Tunisia and spreading through the Arab countries, thousands of people, mostly young, have risked their lives by demonstrating against authoritarian leaders. While some successes have been experienced, the conflicts continue today with no clear outcome on the horizon. What will happen, what did happen, and why it it happened will be subjects for our panelists.
