"A World of Walls Series: Do Fences Make Good Neighbors?"
Rothko Chapel Lecture, by Dr. Tony Payan
Walls—visible and invisible—are going up in communities, cities, and countries around the world. Tonight, the Rothko Chapel presents A World of Walls, a series exploring the cultural, political, and human rights ramifications of these human barriers.
An adviser to political groups on both sides of the border, Dr. Tony Payan is an assistant professor specializing in international relations and foreign policy at University of Texas, El Paso. He will discuss realities, conflicts, and human rights issues along the United States-Mexico border.
Dr. Payan, who earned his Ph.D. at Georgetown, is also on the graduate faculty at Universidad Autonoma de Cuidad Juarez. His latest book is The Three U.S. Mexico Border Wars: Drugs, Immigration, and Homeland Security.
