Bridges - Dialogues Towards a Culture of Peace is a running event held by the International Peace Foundation. So far, the biggest news out of this is the drama surrounding Shrin Ebadi, the 2003 Nobel Peace laureate from Iran.
This event will bring the best academic lectures we have seen in this country, from James D. Wolfensohn to Robert Mundell, a pioneer of neo-classical economics.
What I am most perplexed by is the failure of my alma mater, Universiti Putra Malaysia, to be part of this event. The rest of the so-called top 4 Malaysian public universities are hosting events.
So much for improvement.
