Supporting the Troops from a Progressive Perspective at Wesleyan University

Saturday, November 15, 2008
4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.

Wesleyan University
Middletown, CT 06459

As progressives, our chants, bumper stickers, and protest signs rarely extend past “support the troops, bring them home.” While this sentiment is not wholly without merit, the nature of the interaction between the progressive movement and the troops must be further nuanced. Join Joshua Kors, investigative reporter for The Nation, Raed Jarrar, political analyst and blogger, and Elvin T. Lim, assistant professor and author, for a discussion about the role that the left must play in supporting the troops and what the nature of that support should be.

Refreshments will be served.
