SUMMARY:Losing Hearts and Minds: Ethnicity and Civilian Targeting in Myanmar’s Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 6 at 12 pm ET\, Kamran Hakiman will present his research\, “Losing Hearts and Minds: Ethnicity and Civilian Targeting in Myanmar’s Civil War.” This study investigates why states use indiscriminate violence against some civilian populations following guerrilla attacks but not others\, focusing on Myanmar’s post-coup civil war. Hakiman uses township-level violence data to analyze how co-ethnicity and co-religion affect state responses in Myanmar\, providing insight into the complex relationship between civilian reprisals and perceived population “winnability.” Read the paper HERE.  \nKamran Hakiman is a doctoral candidate at the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs. His work examines decentralized collective action and democratization\, with field research experience in conflict zones across Myanmar\, Afghanistan\, Ethiopia\, Kenya\, and beyond.

SUMMARY:You Can't Buy Hope\, So Where Can You Find It
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, November 19 at 4pm\, Rabbi Jeffrey Myers of Congregation Tree of Life\, will engage in a community dialogue asking\, “You Can’t Buy Hope\, So Where Can You Find It?” \nRabbi Myers—who survived the murderous rampage of October 27\, 2018\, that killed 11 people—became the face of the largest antisemitic attack in US history. Since then\, he has set about sending the key message that love is stronger than hate. He contends that a lack of understanding of our neighbors leads to fear and sometimes loathing\, which can lead to acts of violence. \nMyers received the Heroes designation from CNN\, a Rescuer of Humanity medal from the Simon Wiesenthal Center\, a Rescuer of Humanity from Values in Action\, the John E. McGrady Award for Community Service from the Heinz Foundation\, and the Ronald H. Brown Leadership Award from the Urban League. \nKosher food will be provided.
