Scholarly Lecture Series

The Middle East Studies Center hosts a monthly Scholarly Lecture Series. Our speakers have achieved regional, national, and international recognition. They initiative critical discussions within our community. Past topics have included theology in Syria, Iranian Cinema, music of the Arab Spring, public service provision in Lebanon, and more.

All events are FREE and open to the public.

Archived Zoom lectures are available at our Youtube Channel. Currently, we are processing Zoom events from the 2020-2021 Scholarly Lecture Series. Thank you for your patience!
