Faculty, staff and students at Penn State's Dickinson School of Law will have the opportunity to participate in a national dialogue, "Guantanamo: How Should We Respond?" concerning the implications of indefinitely detaining hundreds of individuals in Guantanamo, on Thursday, Oct. 5.
Modeled after the teach-ins of the 1960s but using today's technology, the Webcast conference will be a collaborative effort by representatives of the academy, journalism, religion, medicine and the military in exploring the government's detention policies in the war on terror.
The all-day conference, hosted by Seton Hall Law School, will be simulcast from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at academic institutions across the United States. More than 200 colleges and law schools in at least 44 states are scheduled to participate. The conference will be broadcast at the law school in 114 Advantica Building in Carlisle and in 327 Beam Building in University Park.
