"Confronting Iraq: A Global Perspective" is the title of a Feb. 27 University Forum lecture at UNLV.

Jonathan Adelman, professor of international studies at the University of Denver, will discuss the international pressure that is influencing the confrontation with Iraq. Through an examination of Russian and European views, Adelman will detail how emerging trends in global and economic policy are affecting the actions of the United States.

This lecture is being co-sponsored by the Nevada Committee on Foreign Affairs (an affiliate of the American Committees on Foreign Relations) and the Anti-Defamation League.

The lecture will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Natural History. All University Forum lectures are free and open to the public.

The University Forum lecture series is sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts and is underwritten by The Jerry Kalafatis Lodge Charitable Foundation and the UNLV Foundation.
