Law School’s Morse Center
prepares 2004-05 events
Immigration, foreign policy,
multilateralism and other
topics will be addressed

FREELANCE REPORTER
Located in the University's School
of Law, the Wayne Morse Center for
Law and Politics is preparing for an
other year filled with conferences and
special events featuring speakers from
around the nation.
"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. Charlesworth will be at the
University Law School from January
8 until February 4, 2005, when she
will teach a course entitled "Sex,
Gender, and Human Rights" with
Ibrahim Gassama. She will also de
liver a public address.
