SUMMARY:Joan Maloof The Secrets of Trees at Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Standing in an old-growth forest\, you can instinctively sense the ways it is different from forests shaped by humans. These ancient\, undisturbed ecosystems are increasingly rare and largely misunderstood\, but American environmentalist Joan Maloof knows these forests intimately and has been studying and writing about them for decades. In the newly revised and expanded edition of her book\, Nature’s Temples: A Natural History of Old-Growth Forests\, she continues to deepen our understanding of these extraordinary ecosystems. \nMaloof brings together the scientific data we have about old-growth forests\, drawing on diverse fields of study to explain the ecological differences among forests of various ages. She describes the life forms and relationships that make old-growth forests unique — from salamanders and micro-snails to plants that communicate through fungi — and reveals why human attempts to manage forests can never replicate nature’s sublime handiwork. She also sheds new light on the special role forests play in removing carbon from the atmosphere and shares what we know about the interplay between wildfires and ancient forests. \nJoan Maloof\, Ph.D.\, is a powerful spokesperson for our nation’s forests — sharing information about their extent and condition and encouraging their preservation. Maloof is the author of Nature’s Temples: A Natural History of Old-Growth Forests. She also founded the Old-Growth Forest Network\, an organization that is creating a network of protected forests across the U.S. Maloof is a professor emeritus at Salisbury University where she taught Biological Sciences and Environmental Studies. She is the author and four books in addition to Nature’s Temples: Treepedia; The Living Forest; Among the Ancients; and Teaching the Trees. \n\n*I’m guessing she’s Arab due to her last name but I could not confirm.

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.

SUMMARY:Honoring Palestinian Fathers with PFC
DESCRIPTION:Palestinian Feminist Collective (PFC) warmly invites you to join us for our June 2023 Feminist Futures Program. This month we are honoring Palestinian fathers with a virtual event meant to create space for\, honor and recognize the complex lived experiences and realities of Palestinian fathers. We will be hosting two incredible speakers: Raja Shehadeh\, author of the memoir We Could Have Been Friends\, My Father and I\, and Abeer Otman\, postdoctoral scholar\, who will unpack how Zionist settler colonialism impinges on Palestinian fatherhood\, as well as how fathers defy settler colonialism by showing love\, care\, and protection for their families and homes. As Palestinian feminists\, we will conceptualize: What are the experiences of Palestinian fathers – diverse and complicated? How do we tell these stories of fatherhood? How can we continue to hold them and make space for them in our pursuit of Palestinian liberation? \n  \nAbeer Otman’s postdoctoral research investigates father-child connectivity under the settler-colonial context. She has a doctorate in social work from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Her doctoral research focused on fathers and fatherhood in a settler colonial context: the case of occupied East Jerusalem (OEJ). As a community and social worker in East Jerusalem for more than ten years\, she engages in local activities concerning fulfillment of socio-economic rights\, improving physical spaces\, developing social and educational services. \nRaja Shehadeh is a Palestinian lawyer\, human rights activist\, and writer. He co-founded the Palestinian human rights organization Al-Haq in 1979. He is the author of several books\, including Palestinian Walks\, which he won the Orwell Prize in 2008. In addition to his legal work\, Shehadeh has written a number of books about Palestine through the lens of his life\, including Strangers in the House (2002)\, Occupation Diaries (2012)\, and his latest\, We Could Have Been Friends\, My Father and I: A Palestinian Memoir (2022).

SUMMARY:Conflict\, Hope\, Peace\, and Public Health in Palestine - Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Join the DGH DEI Committee for a discussion with Professor Izzeldin Abuelaish on conflict\, hope\, peace\, and public health in Palestine. \nThursday\, October 5\, 2023 | 10:00-11:30 a.m.\nHans Rosling Center Room 101 \nProf. Izzeldin Abuelaish is a Palestinian Canadian physician and an internationally recognized human rights and peace activist devoted to advancing health and education opportunities for women and girls in the Middle East. Born and raised in Jabalia Refugee Camp in the Gaza Strip\, he is the first Palestinian doctor to receive an appointment in Medicine at an Israeli hospital. Through his work\, he has experienced firsthand the impacts of conflict in many countries. His experience working as both an insider and outsider to conflict has led him to believe that doctors are particularly well-poised to serve as peacemakers\, based on the moral doctrine of their profession. His work as both a healthcare practitioner and a peace advocate builds on this philosophy of health as a tool for peace. Prof. Abuelaish has been nominated five times for Nobel Peace Prize. \n  \nDr. Abuelaish’s book\, I Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor’s Journey\, an autobiography inspired by the loss of his three daughters to Israeli shelling\, has achieved critical acclaim and has been translated into 23 languages. It is available as an e-book from the UW library and the Seattle Public Library.

Our aim is to present a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics at play and offer an opportunity for visitors to uncover the true facts. By joining us at the open house\, attendees will have the chance to learn about the rich historical background of Palestine and gain valuable insights that are often omitted from mainstream narratives. We invite all interested individuals to come and engage in meaningful conversations that have the potential to broaden horizons and foster a more comprehensive understanding of the Palestinian struggle for freedom and justice.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Sophia Al-Maria and Arbella Bet-Shlimon
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with artist Sophia Al-Maria in conversation with University of Washington Williams Family Endowed Associate Professor in History\, Arbella Bet-Shlimon. Al-Maria is a Qatari-American artist\, writer\, and filmmaker whose current Henry exhibition\, Not My Bag\, interrogates histories of colonial authority in contemporary culture. Bet-Shlimon’s teaching and research focuses on the politics\, society\, and economy of twentieth-century Iraq and the broader Persian Gulf region\, as well as Middle Eastern urban history.\nThrough sharing of personal stories and literary\, journalistic\, and scholarly references that have been crucial to their work\, Al-Maria and Bet-Shlimon will explore how historical fiction and a critical study of histories can be acts of dissent while looking toward global social change.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKERS\n\nSophia Al-Maria has had solo exhibitions at Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art\, Qatar; the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art\, Moscow; the Tate Britain\, London; and the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York; among other institutions. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art\, London; LUMA Arles\, France; the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Toronto; the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago; the New Museum\, New York; the Palais de Tokyo\, Paris; and the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art\, Beijing; La Biennale di Venezia\, Venice\, Italy; and numerous other venues. She has been writer in residence at the Whitechapel Gallery\, London. She is the author of three books: Sad Sack (Book Works\, London\, 2019)\, Virgin with a Memory (Cornerhouse Publications\, Manchester\, 2014)\, and The Girl Who Fell to Earth (Harper Perennial\, New York\, 2012).\n\nArbella Bet-Shlimon is a historian of the modern Middle East. In her research and teaching she focuses on the politics\, society\, and economy of twentieth-century Iraq and the broader Persian Gulf region\, as well as Middle Eastern urban history. Among others her teaching has been recognized by the UW’s Distinguished Teaching Award. Bet-Shlimon’s first book\, City of Black Gold: Oil\, Ethnicity\, and the Making of Modern Kirkuk (Stanford University Press\, 2019)\, explores how oil and urbanization made ethnicity into a political practice in Kirkuk\, a multilingual city that was the original hub of Iraq’s oil industry.
