Panel to address terrorism following Boston bombing

Three University of Wisconsin-Madison professors plan to discuss how the Boston Marathon bombing compares with other recent terrorist plots, as well as address the facts and myths surrounding the Islamic terrorist threat from the North Caucasus region of Russia, in a paneled discussion Tuesday.

UW-Madison sociology professor Ted Gerber, political science professor Andrew Kydd and languages and cultures of Asia professor Uli Schamiloglu will hold the moderated discussion, called “Boston, Chechnya, and Terrorism: A Faculty Roundtable.”

The free event will take place at 4 p.m. in room 1125 of the Biochemistry Building, located at 420 Henry Mall.
