"The center hosts speakers and or ganizes events at UO. We have a spe cial affiliation with the law school: It's our home, and many faculty members and students are involved," Morse Center Communications Co ordinator Cheri Brooks said. "We are unusual in that we cross over many different disciplines. Our advisory board is made up of several commu nity members, law professors and professors of other subjects as well." Brooks stressed that the events sup ported by the center are open to those affiliated with the University and to the public. Many members of the community attend the various con ferences and lectures held during the year, she said. According to the Morse Center's Web site, the center was created in me morial of the late University law school dean and U.S. Senator Wayne Morse and is committed to sustaining Morse's "ideals of foresight, intellec tual independence and integrity" by bringing in prominent activists and scholars from around the country. This independent center is devoted to interdisciplinary research, conversa tion, publication and the education of significant matters regarding law and politics, according to the Web site. Each year the center invites various experts and other noteworthy individ uals to discuss topics centralized around a particular theme. This year, the center will continue its theme from last year, "The Changing Geopolitical Order: Implications for Peace and Stability. * This year's events will cover a series of issues including race and immigra tion, multilateralism versus unilater alism, and foreign policy, said Morse Center Director Margaret Hallock. The Morse Chair Professor for the year is international law and feminist scholar Hilary Charlesworth, who teaches at the Australian National Universityand is involved with the school's Centre for International and Public Law, where she directs re search.
