SUMMARY:The “Abraham Accords”: Implications for Human Rights\, a Just Peace\, and US Policy: online
DESCRIPTION:The “Abraham Accords”: Implications for Human Rights\, a Just Peace\, and US Policy\nTuesday May 2\, 2023 \n9:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET \nWith the normalization of relations between Israel and some Arab countries moving at a relatively fast pace\, and with the Abraham Accords having taken over a significant proportion of US policy conversations and priorities for the region\, there is a great need to provide a detailed and objective assessment of this new policy direction and its potential impacts and implications. \nArab Center Washington DC (ACW) and the Foundation for Middle East Peace (FMEP) are hosting a half-day conference to discuss the implications of these agreements for human rights and democracy across the region\, as well as for US policies and priorities\, regional and global alliances\, and the future of both peace and Palestinian human rights. The conference panels will also include an examination of the diplomatic\, economic\, military\, and technological components of these newly established relations\, the motivations of each of the countries involved\, and an overall assessment of the future of the Abraham Accords.

SUMMARY:Reconstructing the Ancient Nile and Human Interactions with the River:  Zoom
DESCRIPTION:While many efforts to reconstruct the ancient Nile drainage system have been conducted in previous years\, they have been confined primarily to small study areas\, producing maps of fragmented sections of the ancient river. The position and dynamic nature of the entire river channel system remains undiscovered. \nSuch a poor understanding of the Nile history not only inhibits our ability to map archaeological sites accurately\, but also to understand their significance within the wider landscape.  \nUsing remote sensing\, geophysical methodologies for ground truthing\, and Egyptological research\, our team has begun the process of mapping the ancient Nile south of Cairo.   \nSpeaker Bio\nDr. Suzanne Onstine is an associate professor in the Department of History at the University of Memphis. She received her B.A in anthropology at the University of Arizona and her M.A. and Ph.D. in Near and Middle Eastern civilizations at the University of Toronto.

SUMMARY:Sam Kigar and Rokiatou Soumaré\, “Translation as Territorialization: Language and Belonging in Modern Africa” | A Translation Studies Hub Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:“Against Translation as Metaphor: Sultanic Languages of Sovereignty in Late 19th Century Morocco”\nSam Kigar (Islamic Studies\, Department of Religion\, University of Puget Sound) challenges a scholarly tradition of describing religions as languages that can be translated into one another. He examines the translation of two letters by Sultan Hassan I (r. 1873-1894) about his journeys to the Sūs region of southern Morocco. The Sultan was not translating forms of Islamic sovereignty into “foreign” territorial terms\, instead\, he was participating in the territorialization of the Sūs. \n“Decentering French to re-center Wolof: Translation as a Nationalist Performance in Boubacar Boris Diop’s Work” \nRokiatou Soumaré (French and Francophone Studies\, University of Puget Sound) proposes that Senegalese novelist Boubacar Boris Diop positions himself in his work as a nationalist linguistic activist by writing in Wolof instead of French\, Senegal’s lingua franca. For Diop\, translating these essential pieces initiated an ambitious political project that aligns with his nationalistic views\, and his rejection of French hegemony. \n  \n\n\n\nEVENT INTERVAL\nSingle day event\n\n\nCAMPUS LOCATION\nCommunications Building (CMU)\n\n\nCAMPUS ROOM\n202\n\n\nEVENT TYPES\nLectures/Seminars\n\n\nEVENT SPONSORS\nSimpson Center for the Humanities\, humanities@uw.edu\, 206.543.3920\nDepartment of French and Italian Studies

SUMMARY:Voices from the Holy Land: Online Film Salon
DESCRIPTION:Two documentary films\, Voices across the Divide and Born in Deir Yassin\, pull back the carefully constructed curtain of “a land without people for a people without a land.” Since 1948\, a monumental effort has been made to promote a romantic mythology of Israel’s creation and to hide the brutal violence. But firsthand accounts by both the oppressor and the oppressed\, the expeller and the exiled\, reveal the ongoing wounds. Nothing is resolved by dialogue alone\, yet nothing will be resolved without it. Any hope of coexistence begins when the historical truth is rediscovered and acknowledged. It begins here. \nWatch the film for free at your convenience; then join the Q&A Discussion with: \nAlice Rothchild:  Author\, filmmaker\, and Assistant Professor\, Harvard Medical School (Retd.)\nEmad Moussa:  Palestinian-British journalist\, researcher\, and human rights activist\nHuda Giddens: Palestinian American educator\, Nakba survivor\nAhlam Muhtaseb (moderator):  Author\, filmmaker\, and Professor of Media Studies at CSUSB \nYou must register to join the discussion & receive access to the film:  Tinyurl.com/VFHL-May2023\nWatch the Trailers: 1) vimeo.com/818747654             2) vimeo.com/818744242 \nHow this will work: \n1 – Register here for the Voices from the Holy Land Online Film Salon: \nTinyurl.com/VFHL-May2023 \n2 – Once you register\, you will get a confirmation email from Zoom with a link to the meeting and a link with to watch the film.  (Save this confirmation letter as the meeting link is unique to your email and you must have this to participate.) \n3 – Watch the film at your convenience before the event.  Then join us with your thoughts and questions for our speakers at the Q&A Discussion on Sunday May 21\, 2023 at 3 pm ET/ 12 noon PT.
