<div>
<div><font size="2" face="arial"><font size="2" face="arial"><font size="2" face="arial">Hello All,<br><br>Southern Illinois University Carbondale is holding an
important conference on ethics in the Israel/Palestinian conflict. The
conference will include international speakers, a film event, a dinner and
cocktail reception, a "philosophical conversation" and graduate papers. It is to
be held on April 5th and 6th in Carbondale. The conference is free and open to
the public. Please visit our website to register. The web site is found at <a>www.higherroads.siuc.edu</a><br><br>As
armed conflict continues through-out the world and specifically in the Middle
East how might ethics gain strength as part of solutions which will one day end
the violence and loss of human dignity? Is applied ethics still viable? How
might religion and concepts of religious community help? What role does identity
play in the prejudices and aggressions involved? These are some of the questions
that we will approach in the conference discussions. <br><br>Please join us if
you can.<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Rebecca Farinas<br>SIUC Philosophy<span><font size="3" face="Calibri"> </font></span></font></font></font></div>
