The Department of Political Studies and the Centre for the Study of Democracy and Diversity are hosting a moderated panel discussion, featuring the York University group "Bridging the Gap."  This student dialogue group was formed on the York University campus by Palestinian/Arab and Israeli/Jewish students and alumni who wanted to change the way that the conversation about Israel/Palestine was/is happening at York, and with the purpose of sharing multiple perspectives in a respectful manner.  The Department of Political Studies and the Centre for the Study of Democracy and Diversity has invited the group to share with the Queen's community the important dialogue work they are doing.

York University Professor Randal Schnoor will moderate a public panel discussion with student leaders of York University's BRIDGING THE GAP to explore student motivations for starting this dialogue group, views on the current campus climate, challenges, and opportunities for dialogue. Question and discussion period with the audience will follow.
