Thursday, May 9 "A War without an End?: Plan Colombia and Beyond"
Speaker: Sanho Tree, Director, The Institute for Policy Studies Drug Policy Project Sanho Tree will discuss the social, political, economic, and environmental consequences of the "war on drugs" and the "war on terrorism." About the Speaker: Sanho Tree has worked as a military and diplomatic historian and co-authored with Dr. Gar Alperovitz _The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb and the Architecture of an American Myth_ (1995) and with Uday Mohan "The Construction of Conventional Wisdom" (anthologized in _Hiroshima's Shadow_ 1998). From 1997-98, he was Associate Editor of CAQ (CovertAction Quarterly), an award-winning magazine of investigative journalism. In the late 1980s he worked at the International Human Rights Law Group in Washington. His current work concerns pursuing drug policy reform by reaching out to non-traditional allies and employing innovative tactics to promote a sustainable, constitutional, and humane drug control policy. The project's mission is to help foster a paradigm shift replacing the punitive and coercive "social control model" of drug policy with a public health and community economic development model.
