FRIDAY    NOVEMBER 4  

2:00 – 3:00pm  |  Student For A Day “The Moral Challenges of the Global Refugee Crisis” “Globally, one in every 122 humans is now either a refugee, internally displaced, or seeking asylum,” reported the United Nations’ High Commissioner for Refugees in June 2015. The headline then of “Worldwide displacement hits all-time high as war and persecution increase” continues to be true today. This talk provides an overview of the causes and consequences of the current refugee crisis and its implications for U.S. foreign and domestic policy. Particular focus is on the questions of ethical responsibility and moral obligation and how to understand both their scope and their limits. Examples will be drawn from community-based research conducted by Duke undergraduates in Egypt, Ireland, Jordan, Nepal, and Durham. A graduate of Johns Hopkins and Stanford universities, Suzanne Shanahan is Co-Director of the Kenan Institute for Ethics and Associate Research Professor of Sociology.

3:15 – 4:15pm  |  Student For A Day “What Foreign Policy Might Mean for the Presidential Election – and What the Presidential Election Might Mean for Foreign Policy” The conventional wisdom is that foreign policy does not decide elections; “it’s the economy, stupid.” And the conventional wisdom is that elections decide foreign policy because, presumably, candidates offer sharply divergent visions on foreign policy. But 2016 has been anything but a conventional election year. So how is foreign policy playing this time around, and what might that mean for the next occupant of the Oval Office? Peter D. Feaver, Professor of Political Science and Public Policy, graduated from Lehigh University and Harvard University and focuses his teaching and research upon international relations. In addition to his classroom responsibilities, Dr. Feaver is Director of the Triangle Institute for Security Studies (TISS) and also Director of the Duke Program in American Grand Strategy (AGS).

VISITING DURHAM 33 33

DURHAM



NORTH CAROLINA

Duke University is proud to call Durham, North Carolina, home. The city has a vibrant culture of performing and visual art, food and beverage, outdoor recreation, and education, among other amazing experiences. Durham was named America’s “Foodiest Small Town” by Bon Appetit, and contributes to the second-largest concentration of doctoral degrees in the country, just behind Silicon Valley. While we welcome you to join us for all of our Family Weekend events, please be sure to explore what Durham has to offer while you’re in town.

 Historic Places Duke Homestead State Historic Site – “This national historic landmark marks the spot where Washington Duke started his worldwide tobacco empire. It includes the restored mid-1800s Duke family home, tobacco barns, original factory, and farm. It also has a museum to showcase the beginnings of the modern day tobacco industry, complete with demonstrations of early farming techniques and manufacturing processes.” http://www.durham-nc.com/listings/Duke-Homestead-State-Historic-Site/1496

Bennett Place State Historic Site – “Bennett Place is the site of the largest troop surrender and the effective end of the Civil War. It was in April 1865 that Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston and his Union adversary General William T. Sherman decided to meet in Durham at Bennett Place, where General Johnston surrendered the Southern armies in the Carolinas, Florida, and Georgia. Today it includes restored historic structures, special living history events, including a commemoration on the anniversary, and tours.” http://www.durham-nc.com/listings/Bennett-Place-State-Historic-Site/1554

 Natural Places Eno River State Park – “The Eno River flows through Durham for 33 miles before eventually ending up in Falls Lake on the eastern edge of the county. This park, only 10 miles from Downtown Durham, offers terrific access for those who wish to experience the natural beauty the region has to offer. Day trips can also include canoeing or fishing in the Eno itself and can also easily turn into overnight trips with both individual/small group and group camp sites available along the trails in the park.” http://www.durham-nc.com/listings/Eno-River-State-Park/1388

34

 Cultural Attractions “Question Bridge: Black Males” – Check out this new exhibit at the Power Plant Gallery on the American Tobacco Campus. Question Bridge is a documentary-styled video art installation that explores critically challenging issues within the African American male community by instigating a transmedia conversation among black men across the geographic, economic, generational, educational, and social start of American society. http://powerplantgallery.org/question-bridge-black-males

Pauli Murray: Imp, Crusader, Dude, Priest – Explore the phenomenal exhibit dedicated to the Durham human rights champion, Pauli Murray. As a woman, a person of color, a worker, and a member of the LGBTQ community, Murray refused to see herself restricted by the categories of gender, race, class, and sexuality. Instead, she aspired to an integrated body, mind, and spirit that required a holistic sense of self. http://sites.fhi.duke.edu/paulimurrayproject

 Dining, Retail, & Entertainment 9th Street (off of East Campus) – 9th Street is known for its variety of restaurant offerings at reasonable prices that Duke students and Durham locals frequent and enjoy. From upscale bar food to the best brunch in the city, 9th Street is the place for anyone seeking to find great local food and shops. American Tobacco Campus – The American Tobacco Campus features Durham Bulls Baseball, the Durham Performing Arts Center, outdoor entertainment, art exhibits, restaurants, and so much more. It is also a registered historic site with roots in the American Tobacco Factory established in the 1800s. americantobaccohistoricdistrict.com  •  324 Blackwell St.
