    Eight years after 9/11, the issue of terrorism continues to overshadow America's domestic and foreign policies. What is terrorism? What are its causes? How is it best addressed? These questions inform political speeches, talk shows, and internet blogs alike. This community course proposes to provide material for thought and discussion in three contexts. It will first consider terrorism as a doctrine and a tactic. It will then survey the history and discuss the evolution of modern terrorism from the French Revolution to the end of the 20th century. Finally it will examine the genesis of the 9/11 attack, and the responses to it. While that section will focus on the U.S., experiences elsewhere, particularly in Europe, will be incorporated. This year the presentation will include four case studies: Iraq, Afghanistan, Mumbai, and Gaza. Taught by CC professor of history Dennis Showalter. Call the CC Arts Festival office to register at 719-389-6098 or register online at http://www.coloradocollege.edu/SummerPrograms/EnrichYourLife/. Class held from 9 a.m. until noon. Sponsored by the CC Summer Festival of the Arts.
