Please also mark your calendars for Friday, May 9, when Mehwish Sarwari and Patrick McGovern, from Government, Planning, and Philosophy, will present "Blue Helmets as Political Regime Influencers: The Impact of Democratic Peacekeeping Personnel on Democratization in Conflict-affected States."

The “Conversations” series was started 17 years ago by Ann Colley, SUNY Distinguished Professor Emerita of English, to “celebrate and draw attention to the research being done in various departments at Buffalo State University.” Over this time, colleagues from Anthropology, Art Conservation, Art History, Biology, Chemistry, English, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Political Science, and Secondary Education, among others, have shared their work with the Buffalo State and Buffalo communities.
