Watch It: Tariq Ramadan Panel, and Next Week's PEN Event

For those of you who were unable to join us in person on April 8 for the panel discussion with Tariq Ramadan, Dalia Mogahed, George Packer, Jacob Weisberg and Joan Wallach Scott, you can watch it on C-SPAN’s Book TV (click on “Watch This Program” on the right side of the page).

And if you did join us, and enjoyed that event, we’re cohosting another event with PEN American Center next week. Called “Face to Face: Confronting the Torturers,” the evening of readings will feature Aasif Mandvi of The Daily Show, and renowned writers and artists reading from writings that literally and figuratively confront torture. It’s next Thursday, April 29 at 9:30 at Joe’s Pub (425 Lafayette St.). Tickets are $15/$10 for ACLU/PEN members and students with a valid ID.

We hope you’ll join us!
