KOKOMO, Ind.—University of Indianapolis (U of I) associate professor R. William Ayres will present “Iraq: The No-Win Situation?” at IU Kokomo on Wednesday, April 21, at 7 p.m. in Room 130 of the Kelley Student Center. Free and open to the public, the event is sponsored by the campus’ History/Political Science Club. The talk will “focus on the future,” Ayres said, rather than rehash the circumstances under which the United States entered into armed conflict in Iraq last year. “Those are interesting questions, but all past tense,” Ayres said. “I want to address the plausible future scenarios in Iraq, given the present realities.” He said he worded his lecture title to challenge audiences’ expectations of what “winning” in Iraq might mean. Declaring a U.S. victory there “depends on how you define ‘winning,’ ” he said. After his talk, Ayres plans to invite questions from the audience on additional topics. Ayres is an associate professor of international relations in the U of I History and Political Science Department and director of the university’s international relations program. Specializing in the study of international and ethnic conflicts, conflict resolution, and political psychology, Ayres said much of his research and writing has covered previous conflicts in the Middle East, with emphasis on civil wars and other internal state conflicts. For more information on Ayres’ presentation at IU Kokomo, call (765) 455-9500. Guests to campus who do not have an IU Kokomo parking pass are asked to park in the lower level of the parking garage, located on the south end of campus. -- A public forum on business ethics and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will also be held at IU Kokomo on Wednesday, April 21, at 7 p.m. That forum will be held in Kresge Auditorium, and not in Room 130 of Kelley Student Center, as announced in the campus publication, Bridges.
