Event

The UPenn Graduate School of Education's Hub for Equity, Anti-oppression, Research and Development (HEARD) invites you to join our community for an interactive panel to broaden our understanding of the ongoing impact of 9/11. Participants will learn more about US engagements in wars over the last two decades; the consequences and costs of these wars; and how and why we need to teach about war. Speakers will share research, pedagogical tools and curriculum resources that help us move beyond teaching about 9/11 to teaching beyond it.

Panelists include:

• Ameena Ghaffar-Kucher is a senior lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education. She is the director of the Teaching Beyond September 11th curriculum project.

• Stephanie Savell is a public anthropologist who researches militarism, security, and civic engagement in relation to the United States post-9/11 wars. She is co-director of the Costs of War project at Brown University’s Watson Institute.

• Natassja Gunasena is the Patricia C. and Charles H. McGill III Visiting Assistant Professor of International Studies at Trinity College.

• David Vine is Professor of political anthropology at American University in Washington, DC, and the author of The United States of War: A Global History of America’s Endless Conflicts, from Columbus to the Islamic State (University of California Press, 2020).
