\nKINGSTON, R.I. — April 8, 2003 — The University of Rhode Island will host a panel discussion on race, nationalism and war on Saturday, April 12 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. at its University Club. The club is located at 95 Upper College Road on the Kingston campus. The symposium is free and open to the public. <\/p>\n

Sponsored by the Southern New England Consortium on Race and Ethnicity, the symposium is timely. “The discussion isn\u2019t just about the war today. Instead we plan to look at the broader issues that are being played out in Iraq. We want to present different ways of looking at the subject to understand it in a broader context,” says Rae Ferguson, URI assistant professor of history and consortium steering committee member. A URI undergraduate, Keri Ducharme, a political science\/journalism\/photography major, will exhibit her work, a satirical look at Saddam Hussein. Here are the full details:
