Clowes Center News & Events

The Clowes Center was formed in 2004 in order to provide a forum within which students, faculty and members of our communities (both local and international) can develop projects, programs, events and research that explore specific efforts to create and sustain dialogue across social and political, and national boundaries.

Past events have included the Veterans of Inter-communal Violence Speaker Series and the international conference States of Violence: Representations of Conflict in Film, Fiction, and Media of South Asia.
