As events in Iraq unfold, a variety of events are being held across the Duke campus to help students, faculty and staff understand and examine war from many different perspectives. Here is a selected list of events:

 

The Arts in Times of War

The final event in this series will be the reading of "Typhus Vision Two," a new play by Duke graduate Kendall Rileigh (T '02). The play, based on more than 50 diaries and interviews with Holocaust victims, eavesdrops on the inner lives of five concentration camp inmates. It will be April 21 at 7 p.m. in Sheafer Theater, in the Bryan Center, West Campus, and is free of charge.

"The Arts in Times of War" is a series of lectures, readings, and performances supported in part by funds from the Mary Duke Biddle Foundation, by the Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies and the Franklin Humanities Institute's "Making the Humanities Central" project, and by the participating Duke departments and programs.
