Nova Southeastern University Hosts Colloquium to Examine Darfur Crisis
NSU Student organizes event to raise awareness of Genocide
FORT LAUDERDALE-DAVIE, FL – As news reports describe the escalating turmoil in Darfur, Sudan, there are still Americans who are unaware of the violence that has driven more than two million people from their homes.
In an effort to raise awareness and bring attention to the plight of the families struggling to stay alive in Darfur, Nova Southeastern University graduate student Careen Hutchinson has organized, “Colloquium on the Darfur Crisis,” on Thursday, March 29, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. The event, which will be held on NSU’s main campus in the Carl DeSantis Building Knight Auditorium, is free and open to the public.
Hutchinson, who is seeking a degree in Conflict Analysis and Resolution, grew up in Jamaica and is following the example set by her parents who believed in, “doing because you have the ability to do.”
“I want people who have suffered and are suffering human rights abuses and violations to know that there are those who care about them. I feel strongly about taking responsibility for the things we have the ability to affect. The issues concerning Darfur have engaged my passion for international issues,” she says.
The colloquium will feature panel discussions and an art exhibit depicting the situation in the Sudan. Speakers include:
Gregory Garland, Public Affairs Advisor for the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of African Affairs
John Ukec Lueth Ukec, Sudan Ambassador to the United States
Motasim Adam, refugee from Darfur, and President of the Darfur Peoples Association, Brooklyn, New York
Fatima Haroun, a refugee from Darfur who now resides in the US.
Hamid Abdeljaber, former Chief of Middle East Radio Unit, United Nations Department of Public Information, News and Media Division.
The art exhibit will feature the work of activist Khalid Kodi, an adjunct professor at Boston College, who will display his Darfur Dirty Laundry Installation and other works.
The “Colloquium on the Darfur Crisis” is jointly sponsored by NSU’s Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Fischler School of Education and Human Services, Farquhar College of Arts & Sciences and the Office of Student Affairs.
