International Day of Peace
OACS is deeply grateful to all of the contributors to the 2015 International Day of Peace Panel Discussion: Peace & Insecurity, in particular panelists Dr. Robert Barsky, Professor Robert Bridgesmith, Jesenka Filipovic, Miso Hrgota, and moderator Linda Ragsdale. With over 65 people in attendance, OACS is thrilled that so many members of the Vanderbilt community sought to gain a greater understanding of the current challenges facing refugees and immigrants in Nashville and beyond. Messages of appreciation poured in from students who valued the rich academic analyses and the poignant lived experiences of the panelists. We are happy that Vanderbilt’s voice was added to those celebrating partnerships in peace and dignity for all during this year’s International Day of Peace.
