The U.S. has never fully reckoned with the civilian cost of its post-9/11 wars. Civilian deaths remain unacknowledged, uncounted, and too often ignored—as do the longer-term consequences of these wars. Panelists Stephanie Savell (Costs of War Project), Emran Feroz (Founder of the Drone Memorial and Independent Journalist), Chris Woods (Founder, Airwars), and Bonyan Jamal (Accountability Specialist, Mwatana for Human Rights) will discuss their research shedding light on the human costs of U.S. military operations abroad, and their efforts to address this blind spot in U.S. foreign policy.
Lunch will be served in JG 105.
This is the final event in HRI's year-long series, "Twenty Years after 9/11: Addressing an Enduring Legacy of Harm." You can watch recordings of past events on our website: https://tinyurl.com/20years911
