CONFERENCE - DISPELLING MISCONCEPTIONS: MEDIA, CONFLICT
AND IMPERIALISM IN THE MIDDLE EAST

In an historic and unprecedented move, three SFU student unions have
decided to come together to organize a conference on the Middle East
and the media. Given the pre-eminence of this topic in world affairs today,

it is imperative that there exists a public dialogue that addresses these
crucial issues in an informed and critically responsible way. We seek to
create such a dialogue with this conference and hope that you as a
concerned member of the public will attend.

Saturday, February 8, 2003 at SFU Harbour Centre. 9am--4pm

Speakers include:
Dr. William Cleveland - SFU history - U.S. foreign policy on Iraq/Israel

Jane Power - Ph.D candidate, SFU history - Enduring colonial legacies

Dr. Gabor Mate M.D. - Jews for a Just Peace - Zionist ideology and
practise

Dr. Laurie King-Irani - UVic Anthropology - The New McCarthyism

Charles Demers & Riaz Behra - Palestine Solidarity Group - Middle East
issues on college campuses

Hanna Kawas - CO-Op Radio 102.7FM "Voice of Palestine" - Aspects of
Canadian foreign policy
