The United Nations Human Rights Office has described the humanitarian crisis in Haiti as a “cataclysmic situation” as gang violence has brought political uncertainty and economic turmoil to the country. The Honors College will present a panel of faculty, community and students with expertise on Haiti who will discuss the near collapse of the Caribbean nation’s state institutions and their personal experiences in the country from 4-5:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 16th, in the Honors Student Lounge (GEAR 130).

Faculty and community members who will provide context and lead a question-and-answer session include:

Moderator: Caree Banton, associate professor of African Diaspora history and the Director of the African and African American Studies Program at the U of A; Ralph Jean-Pierre, doctoral student in agricultural economics at Oklahoma State University; Yanick St. Jean, professor of sociology at Northwest Arkansas Community College; and Gaëtane Ternier, doctoral student in chemistry and biochemistry at the U of A
