(Mahwah) – Leonard A. Cole, author of Terror: How Israel Has Coped and What America Can Learn (Indiana, 2007), will speak at Ramapo College of New Jersey Monday, April 28 at 1 p.m. in the York Room of the Birch Mansion.  The presentation is free and open to the public.  For more information or to reserve a seat, please call 201.684.7409.

The title of Cole’s talk will be “Coping with Terror:  Learning from the Experience of Israel.”  It will describe how different segments of Israeli society have coped with terrorism-survivors of attacks, families of victims, emergency responders, doctors and nurses, and the general population..  His talk will explore the impact of terrorist incidents on the survivors and their families and differences between the Israeli and American approaches to mandating preparedness for, and the management of, a disaster.  He also will examine exchange programs between Israeli and American emergency response counterparts, including an initiative to establish an International Center for Terror Medicine (ICTM), so that “terror medicine” can also inform U.S. efforts in this area.

Cole is an adjunct professor of Political Science at Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey. He is an expert on bioterrorism and terror medicine and author of seven books, most recently The Anthrax Letters: A Medical Detective Story. He lives in Ridgewood, New Jersey. The talk will be sponsored by Ramapo College’s Gross Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies and Hillel, a student organization.
