Karima Shah '04 and Erica Hassink '04 organized Think Tank for the 2002-2003 academic year. Bag lunches were provided for participants, who were able to interact informally with the presenters.
Other Think Tanks this fall have included:
Jenny Taranski and the Disability Action Committee presented an open forum on accessibility issues at Hamilton. These issues include: physical accessibility such as ramps, elevators, and doors and educational accessibility such as computer testing, closed captioning, and new library technology.
Professor of Anthropology Bonnie Urciuoli was featured in another Think Tank. She discussed, "Playing with Culture, or why it's legitimate for an anthropologist to look at stuff like Barbie and Disney World."
At another Think Tank, College Chaplain Jeffrey McArn raised questions concerning the moral justification for a unilateral, preemptive military force to overthrow the government in Iraq.
Professor of History Shoshana Keller focused a Think Tank discussion on what has been happening in Afghanistan since 9/11. She discussed the changing American relationships with Muslim countries.
