Mitchell Distinguished University Professor of History at the University of Michigan. He has written extensively about Egypt, Iran, Iraq, and South Asia. After Sept. 11, he launched a Weblog, “Informed Comment,” in hope of offering the public a more accurate interpretation of the Middle East, where he had lived off and on for almost ten years. Informed Comment became a phenomenon, generating in some months as many as a million page views, and making him one of the top bloggers in the world. Cole is widely respected as a public intellectual on the Middle East and, in 2004, was invited to address the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations concerning the war in Iraq. <p><a href="http://web.mit.edu/cis/starrforum_cole.html">See the event flyer here.</a><br />MIT's Landau Building 66-110, 25 Ames St. Cambridge, MA<br />Monday, December 10, 2007, 5:00p–6:30pm </p> 6039 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/219451100 2007-07-12 19:22:00 -0400 msrp2007 Searching for Dark Needles in the Cosmic Particle Haystack 4441 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/219430360 2007-12-20 13:19:35 -0500 MIT Center for International Studies <strong>Don't Be an American Idiot<br /></strong>How does the U.S. use human rights in its foreign policy? <br />Does the occupant of the White House matter when it comes to U.S. human interests abroad?
