Friday, October 19 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.
The Palestine Center
Israel's 2006 bombardment of Lebanon had significant environmental effects on the country and put the public health at risk. How are the Lebanese dealing with environmental concerns, such as air pollution from the targeting of fuel-storage tanks, the impact of the massive cluster bomb contamination and Marine and costal pollution?
Dr. Rania Masri is an assistant professor of environmental science at the University of Balamand, Lebanon. She is a regular commentator in Al-Adab magazine. Her column is entitled Towards a Progressive Environment. Before moving to Lebanon in 2005, Dr. Masri was the director of the Southern Peace Research and Education Center at the Institute for Southern Studies in North Carolina.
Dr. Samah Idriss has been editor-in-chief of Al-Adab magazine in Beirut since 1992.
