In February 2001, Scholz facilitated a symposium about the current crisis in the Middle East at the University of Arizona in Tucson. The symposium with Israeli peace activists, Palestinian and Israeli students, members of the Israel Center Tucson and the Middle Eastern Studies Department responded to the intensification of the conflict in Israel and Palestine. The symposium presented historical perspectives on the conflict and facilitated debate between Palestinian and Israeli students, faculty and members of the public. Short video screenings alternated with testimonies, informative presentations and discussions.
