Building Haiti Back Better with Robert Maguire
Haiti Expert Robert Maguire Discusses the Country's Rebuilding Opportunities

World Affairs Council of Oregon presents “Building Haiti Back Better,” a conversation with Robert Maguire about the country’s opportunities for economic and political renewal, on Wednesday, May 26, 2010, from noon to 1:30, at the Oregon Historical Society, Madison Room (third floor), 1200 SW Park Ave, Portland. Oregon Humanities is a cosponsor of this event.

How can reconstruction address the collapse of state institutions that had occurred long before the buildings collapsed? Will the flight back to rural villages of a quarter of a million Port au Prince residents be leveraged to build rural infrastructure and reverse urban migration? Can the energy of Haiti’s large, frequently disaffected youth, be harnessed to drive renewal? Join Maguire, of Trinity University and the U.S. Institute of Peace, to examine these questions and more.

Tickets are $20 for World Affairs Council members and $25 for non-members. Register for the event at the World Affairs Council website.
