- Continued political divide, negotiation stagnation, and unwavering distrust are only some of the many obstacles in the festering conflict between Israel and Palestine. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas have not reached a deal, nor does this seem to be likely in the near future.
In what some call the post-Oslo era, can this conflict be resolved without US intervention? Does the current administration’s neglect of new measures to continue propagating “land for peace” unveil the US’s future role? What is the best solution to this conflict?
This program, hosted by NYU Washington, DC, features a discussion between Speaker of the Fifteenth Knesset and NYU AD Visiting Professor, Avrum Burg, and President and Co-Founder of the Arab American Institute and NYU Visiting Scholar, James Zogby, who will delve into some of the conflict’s issues surrounding border settlements and security, refugees, and the p...

Russian operatives attacked our elections in 2016. This November, intelligence agencies warn us, they’ll be back. Will we be ready? Nearly two years later, important parts of our election infrastructure remain perilously weak. Congress has stalled efforts to implement critical protections. But there are still steps our election officials can take to ensure that the results of our elections are legitimate and widely perceived to be so.

- NYU Washington, DC and the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU) co-hosted a panel discussion on religious-based bullying.
Last year, ISPU’s annual American Muslim Poll revealed that more than 1 in 3 Muslim families report bullying of their child in school because of their religion. In 1 in 4 of those cases involving Muslim students, a teacher or administrator perpetuated the bullying. Given the prevalence rates and negative mental health outcomes associated with religious-based bullying, it must be considered a public health issue in need of prevention and intervention attention. This new report provided insights from the first-ever National Interfaith Anti-Bullying Summit held in Washington, DC, on December 2–3, 2017. The Summit gathered a multitude of experts on the issue, including advocates, researchers, teachers, parents, physicians, mental health practitioners, and, most importantly, targets of bullying to share their stories of the abuse and how ...

As political strategists, organizers, CEOs, and more, they have made history and shaped politics. Yet their story, like the stories of so many African American women in politics, is largely absent from the mainstream. In their new book, FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO HAVE CONSIDERED POLITICS, written with Veronica Chambers, these four trailblazers share their personal journeys, marked by incredible successes and milestones, and offer a roadmap for other women of color with political ambitions. Copies of the book were available for purchase after the event.

- The current opioid epidemic is the deadliest drug crisis in American history. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), on average 115 Americans die of an opioid overdose every day. It’s an issue that transcends all geographic and socioeconomic boundaries — affecting people of every ethnicity and age.
NYU College of Global Public Health and John Brademas Center of New York University co-hosted America Addicted: Understanding the Opioid Epidemic, an event that aimed to better understand the issues surrounding the use and abuse of prescription opioid medications. Through a short film, the event told a personal story of a mother who lost her son to a Fentanyl overdose. Immediately following the film, a panel of policy and research experts whose work focuses on combating the epidemic joined in a discussion with the film’s director.

With the average age of the House Democratic Leadership being 72 years old and the average committee leader being 68, does the party also have a significant age issue? This issue is further amplified by Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren likely being strong contenders for the Democratic nomination in 2020.
With so many newly elected Democrats in Congress, how and when will the party begin transitioning to a more youthful leadership? WIll the age issue be a factor in energizing the youth vote? Is there still a Clinton-Sanders divide in the party?

Much like 1992, following the Anita Hill hearings, 2018 saw a dramatic increase in the number of female candidates for federal office. As women voters tend to skew more toward the Democratic Party, this panel examines what this trend means for the electoral future of both parties.
How will the Republican Party seek to attract more college educated women, or will they double down on recreating President’s Trump’s successful 2016 coalition?
The panel examines what having more women in elected office will mean for governance. Will having more women leaders help make a dent in the hyper-partisanship that we have seen in recent years?

How does the media’s choices of what to cover and how to cover it affect Americans’ knowledge and understanding of important political and socio-economic issues?

The panel also explores the concept of “fake news,” manipulation of information, and the role of the media as watchdog.

- In 2010, WikiLeaks, a non-profit organization that publishes submissions from anonymous whistleblowers, in a partnership with some of the most important news publications, began releasing thousands of classified diplomatic cables sent between the U.S. State Department and consulates and embassies around the world. Three years later, former National Security Agency subcontractor Edward Snowden leaked top secret information about surveillance activities by the NSA. More recently, the Panama Papers became the biggest data leak in the history of journalism: over 11 million documents containing financial information about offshore entities were revealed.
Does the big leak era signal that transparency has replaced fairness as journalism’s main paradigm? Does this mark the imminent decline of the journalism format and the rise of a new form of communicating information through interactive, opinion-based, interest-driven networks of corporations and individuals?

- NYU Washington, DC hosted a Salon Series conversation with Soraya Chemaly, author of Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger.
Rage Becomes Her details how women are angry, and delves into the constant tug of war women face between being underpaid and overworked, too sensitive or not sensitive enough, too dowdy or too made-up, and between many other extremes. Chemaly's work explores how women are pulled in all of these different directions and how rage is one of the most important resources women have. She argues rage is the sharpest tool against both personal and political oppression.
Chemaly details how women have been told for so long to bottle up their anger, letting it corrode their bodies and minds in ways they don’t even realize. Yet this anger is a vital instrument, a radar for injustice and a catalyst for change. On the flip side, the societal and cultural belittlement of women's anger is a cunning way of limiting and controlling a woman's power...

- A new method for simultaneous measurement of 71 inorganic elements in liquids—including water, beverages, and biological fluids—makes element testing much faster, more efficient, and more comprehensive than was possible in the past.
Researchers at NYU College of Dentistry studied samples of liquid from a variety of sources worldwide, including tap water from a New York City suburb, snow from Italy and Croatia, rain from Brazil and Pakistan, lake water from Switzerland and Croatia, and seawater from Japan and Brazil. Testing each sample results in a distinct elemental pattern, creating a “fingerprint” that can help differentiate between substances or trace a liquid back to its environmental origin.
“Because of this new method, our mass spectrometer can simultaneously measure all inorganic elements from lithium to uranium. We’re able to measure the elements in far less time, at far less expense, using far less material,” said Timothy Bromage, prof...
