Asch at Bryn Mawr College
The Asch Center was featured in the April 17, 2008 edition of Bryn Mawr Now. Co-directors Marc Ross and Clark McCauley were interviewed about their plans for the Asch Center, and its mission of crossing disciplinary boundaries to study the origins and consequences of ethnopolitical conflict.

New Book from Marc Ross Marc Ross's fifth book, Cultural Contestation in Ethnic Conflict, has just been published by Cambridge. Ross explores the personal and political impact of cultural expression, with case studies ranging from flags in the American South to Muslim headscarves in French public schools. His analysis leads to insights for more effective conflict management. For more information, click on the image at left. |

A web image can't do justice to the original work of art, but visitors to the Asch Center should recognize the picture above! "Fear of the Unknown" is on long-term loan to the Asch Center from the artist, Seth Rozin. The painting is now hanging outside the new Asch Center office at Bryn Mawr College, just around the corner from another Rozin work, "The Evolution of Man." Seth Rozin is a playwright, director, and founder of InterAct Theater, where his new play, "Black Gold," premiered recently. Another artist, Jonathan Hyman, is a new Asch affiliate. His photographs of responses to 9/11 have been exhibited at the World Trade Center Memorial Museum in New York and the Constitution Center in Philadelphia, and in a Time Magazine photoessay. We hope that Mr. Hyman's work can be continued and supported in association with Asch Center interests in understanding how individuals and groups interpret and react to intergroup violence.
