Evil lurks in next year’s Sidore Series
 
Before faculty finish preparation of their fall syllabi, organizers of the 2005-2006 Saul O Sidore Lecture Series want them to take notice of the scheduled lectures about the problem of evil and its shadows in the modern world.

The series will examine ideas about evil and efforts to combat it in a diversity of places — Nigeria, Ghana, the United States, Great Britain, Egypt and Sudan — and explore how these ideas represent both products of, and resistance against modernity.

All lectures are free and open to the public, and will begin at 4 p.m. in the Theatre I of the Memorial Union Building. For more information and a list of the speakers, visit http://www.unh.edu/humanities-center/sidore/sidore.htm.

The purpose of the Sidore series is to offer the university community and the state of New Hampshire programs that raise critical and sometimes controversial issues facing our society. The series is sponsored by the UNH Center for the Humanities.
