SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Mellon Sawyer Seminar
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed. \nMellon Sawyer Seminar – Humanitarianisms: Elena Fiddian-Qasmiyeh – Shifting the Gaze: Southern-led Humanitarian Responses to Displacement\nWith displacement primarily being a ‘Southern’ and ‘South-South’ phenomenon and dynamic\, it is equally the case that diverse Southern actors have historically responded to displacement\, including in ways that resist\, reject and provide alternatives to the hegemonic aid regime. However\, in spite of the existence of historical and contemporary examples from across the global South\, Southern-led responses to displacement have typically been rendered invisible\, and largely un-acknowledged by Northern- and Northern-based academics\, policy-makers and practitioners\, with sustained academic engagement only arising relatively recently. In turn\, when Southern actors’ responses to displacement have been analyzed—including through studies into the activities of Islamic faith-based organizations and of ‘non-traditional’ donor states which are not members of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC)\, such as Saudi Arabia\, Qatar\, UAE and Kuwait—Northern academics and policy observers have often delegitimized such responses. With this in mind\, and with a particular focus on responses to displacement from Syria since 2011\, in this lecture I develop a multiscalar analysis of the roles played by Southern states\, local host communities\, faith-based networks and refugees themselves\, including through what I refer to as ‘refugee-refugee humanitarianism’. In all\, I argue that it is essential to critically examine Southern-led responses to displacement\, including through a focus on refugee-refugee relations\, as a means of challenging a paradigm that is both dominant and exclusionary in the field of refugee studies and refugee response. \nProf. Elena Fiddian-Qasmiyeh is Professor of Migration and Refugee Studies and Co-Director of the Migration Research Unit at University College London (UCL)\, where she is also the Director of the Refuge in a Moving World interdisciplinary research network. She is currently the Principal Investigator of a number of research projects\, including Analysing South-South Humanitarian Responses to Displacement from Syria: Views from Lebanon\, Jordan and Turkey (funded by the European Research Council)\, and a Local Community Experiences of and Responses to Displacement from Syria (funded by the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council). Elena has conducted extensive research in refugee camps and urban ‘host’ areas including in Algeria\, Cuba\, Egypt\, France\, Jordan\, Lebanon\, South Africa\, Syria\, Sweden\, and the UK. Drawing on a critical theoretical perspective\, her work contributes to key debates surrounding refugees’ and local host community members’ responses to conflict-induced displacement in the Global South; the nature of refugee-host-donor relations\, and refugee-refugee relationality; and Southern-led humanitarian responses to forced migration. Her recent publications include The Ideal Refugees: Gender\, Islam and the Sahrawi Politics of Survival (Syracuse University Press\, 2014)\,  South-South Educational Migration\, Humanitarianism and Development: Views from the Caribbean\, North Africa and the Middle East (Routledge\, 2015)\, The Oxford Handbook of Refugee and Forced Migration Studies (co-editor\, Oxford University Press\, 2014)\, and Refuge in a Moving World: Tracing Refugee and Migrant Journeys Across Disciplines (UCL Press\, 2020). Elena is the co-editor of the Migration and Society journal; its 2020 volume examines the theme of ‘Recentering the South in Studies of Migration\,’ which is also the title of Elena’s introduction to this Special Issue. \nPart of the Mellon Sawyer Seminar Humanitarianisms: Migrations and Care through the Global South. \nCommunications Building (CMU) Room 120

SUMMARY:Ancient Egypt: Cradle of Gender Equality - NELC Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Ancient Egypt: Cradle of Gender Equality \nwith Cynthia Smith\, Independent Scholar \n  \nUnlike most other ancient societies\, Egyptian women achieved parity with Egyptian men.  The disparities between people’s legal and economic rights were based on differences in social class not gender. The wife\, mother or daughter of a king or prominent official could wield considerable influence. On rare occasions a woman might even assume the full mantle of royal power and rule as king. In this lecture the archaeological record and art will demonstrate how ancient Egyptian women were depicted in literary compositions; in property and contract law; in public and private life; and in religion and mythology. \n\nUniversity of Washington – Smith Hall rm 105 \nA Lecture by the American Research Center in Egypt – Northwest Chapter\nCo-sponsored by the Dept. of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization\, University of Washington and Department of Gender\, Women and Sexuality Studies

SUMMARY:Lecture: Desert Borderland: The Making of Modern Egypt and Libya
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Matthew Ellis \n“Desert Borderland: The Making of Modern Egypt and Libya” \nPresenter: Matthew Ellis\, Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Chair in International Affairs and Middle East Studies at Sarah Lawrence College. He is a historian specializing in the social\, intellectual\, and cultural history of the modern Middle East and North Africa. \nIn this talk—based on his recent book\, Desert Borderland: The Making of Modern Egypt and Libya (Stanford\, 2018)—Matthew Ellis adopts a different approach to national territoriality\, arguing that Egypt and Libya emerged steadily as modern territorial nation-states in the decades before World War I despite the lack of official maps defining their borders. By reconstructing the multiple layers and meanings of territoriality in this desert borderland\, Ellis suggests that national territoriality was not simply imposed on Egypt’s western—or Ottoman Libya’s eastern—domains by centralizing state power\, but rather emerged only through a complex and multilayered process of negotiation with a range of local actors motivated by their own conceptions of space\, sovereignty\, and political belonging. \nUW – Thompson Hall – Room 317 \nEvent Sponsors:  Middle East Center\, Henry M.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Fredrik Meiton\, “Electrical Palestine: Zionist and Arab Technopolitics Under the British Mandate”
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Fredrik Meiton \n“Electrical Palestine: Zionist and Arab Technopolitics Under the British Mandate” \n“Electrical Palestine: Zionist and Arab Technopolitics Under the British Mandate”\nLecture by Dr. Fredrik Meiton\, Assistant Professor of History at University of New Hampshire \nAt the dawn of the Arab-Israeli conflict\, both political power and electrical power were circulated through the electric grid that was built by the Zionist engineer Pinhas Rutenberg during the period of British rule from 1917 to 1948. This talk about the history and politics of electricity in Mandate Palestine and Israel charts a story of rapid and uneven Zionist and Palestinian development that was greatly influenced by the electric grid. \nProfessor Meiton is a historian of the modern Middle East. He studies the intersection of politics\, science and the environment\, especially in the context of colonial development. He teaches courses in global and Middle Eastern history\, often with a focus on science\, technology\, energy and the environment. Professor Meiton has a B.A. in history from Lund University\, an M.Phil. in Middle East studies from St Antony’s College\, Oxford\, and a Ph.D. from New York University. Before taking up his position at UNH\, he was a postdoctoral fellow in the Science in Human Culture Program and Department of History at Northwestern University. Professor Meiton has published widely for scholarly and general audiences on a range of topics\, from electrification in Mandate Palestine to energy politics\, capitalism and political theory\, in publications that include Past & Present\, Comparative Studies in Society & History\, Response and Dissent. His most recent book is titled “Electrical Palestine: Capital and Technology from Empire to Nation” (University of California Press\, 2019). \nLocation:  UW Seattle – Student Union Building (HUB) Room 340 \nEvent Type: Lectures/Seminars \nSponsors: Department of History\nSamuel & Althea Stroum Center for Jewish Studies\nMiddle East Center\nHenry M.

SUMMARY:Excavating Medieval Cairo: Its History and Finds
DESCRIPTION:Excavating Medieval Cairo: Its History and Finds \n  \nFustat\, part of modern Cairo\, was the site of the first Muslim settlement in Egypt beginning in the 640s.  The area to which the name Fustat was applied expanded to include the next two Muslim administrative centers and was the location of the majority of Cairo’s urban population while rulers were found in al-Qahira [The origins of the name Cairo (969-1171) and the citadel (to the mid-19th century).  Only in the 20th century did excavations in historic Fustat begin but then only on an irregular basis.  One of the most important excavators was the American and former ARCE director George Scanlon who established his international reputation based upon his work in Fustat.  In addition to tracing the story of the excavators and their work\, the talk will illustrate some of the findings including beads\, coins\, printed paper\, inscribed textiles called tiraz and other material. \nJere Bacharach\, Professor Emeritus\, Department of History\, UW\, first visited Fustat (Cairo) in 1964 and saw it most recently in 2018 with visits to the site and meetings with archaeologists during the intervening decades. He also edited Fustat Finds\, a volume of essays on finds from the site which were owned by a local Egyptian physician. \n\nUniversity of Washington – Thompson Hall rm 101 \nA Lecture by the American Research Center in Egypt – Northwest Chapter Co-sponsored by the UW Dept. of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization and the Middle East Center\, Henry M.

SUMMARY:Reclaiming History:  A Panel - Brick and Mortar Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Brick and Mortar will be hosting a panel at the end of summer on Reclaiming History\, delving into a range of subjects on the myriad ways marginalized people are erased and why that matters in our fiction. \nThere will be a brilliant group of panelists whose work all touches on this subject in different ways: Olivia Waite (The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics)\, Somaiya Daud (Mirage)\, Lauren Dane (Whiskey Sharp series)\, Jasmine Silvera (Grace Bloods series)\, and A.J. Hackwith (The Library of the Unwritten). \nFrom forgotten queer and black history to the erasure of women’s work throughout history in artistic and scientific fields\, we hope you’ll join us in interrogating the ways our society has deliberately chosen to remember and represent its history and what that means for us today\, in our world and in our stories.

SUMMARY:Dahr Jamail: The End of Ice (livestream)
DESCRIPTION:Dahr Jamail: The End of Ice (livestream) Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption\n\nTown Hall Seattle and Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility present\nDahr Jamail\nThe End of Ice\n\n\nAfter nearly a decade overseas as a war reporter\, the acclaimed journalist Dahr Jamail returned to America to renew his passion for mountaineering\, only to find that the slopes he had once climbed have been irrevocably changed by climate disruption. In response\, Jamail embarks on a journey to the geographical front lines of this crisis—from Alaska to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef\, via the Amazon rainforest—in order to discover the consequences to nature and to humans of the loss of ice. \nIn The End of Ice\, we follow Jamail as he scales Alaska’s Denali\, the highest peak in North America\, dives in the warm crystal waters of the Coral Sea only to find bleached coral reefs\, and explores the tundra of St. Paul Island where he meets the last subsistence seal hunters of the Bering Sea and witnesses its collapsing food web. \nAccompanied along the way by climate scientists and people whose families for centuries have fished\, farmed\, and lived in the areas he visits\, Jamail begins to accept the fact that Earth\, most likely\, is in a hospice situation. Ironically\, this allows him to renew his passion for the planet’s wild places\, cherishing Earth in a way he has never been able to before. \nThe End of Ice offers an essential firsthand chronicle of the catastrophic reality of our situation and the incalculable necessity of relishing this vulnerable\, fragile planet while we still can. \nPresented by Town Hall Seattle. https://townhallseattle.org/ \nHaving trouble with registration? \nOur Patron Services line is open a half an hour before each event to provide livestream tech support.

SUMMARY:Revelation of the Mysteries of Osiris\, Lord of Abydos - NELC Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Revelation of the Mysteries of Osiris\, Lord of Abydos: the secret rituals of reviving a murdered god  \nwith UW Graduate Student\, Bryan Kraemer \n  \nThe ancient mysteries celebrated to revive the god Osiris during festivals held at his tomb in Abydos were a secret kept by the priests of Ancient Egypt for almost 2000 years. And yet a wish to participate in these mysteries in life or after death appears among Ancient Egyptian texts so frequently that it must be one of the most talked about secrets ever. Although we have been aware of how parts of the festivals at Abydos worked for almost a century\, the most secret mysteries have so far been unknown to scholars:  How did the Egyptians perform the rituals to revive the murdered god? \n\nUniversity of Washington – Smith Hall rm 211 \nA Lecture by the American Research Center in Egypt – Northwest Chapter\nCo-sponsored by the Dept. of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization\, University of Washington

SUMMARY:Towards a Palestinian Third Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Towards a Palestinian Third Cinema\nNadia Yaqub\nUniversity of Washington\, Communications 120\nFree and open to the public \n\nIn the 1970s\, filmmakers Masao Adachi and Jean-Luc Godard each created a sophisticated essay film that used the Palestinian revolution to reflect questions of truth\, representation\, media circuits and the relationships that can and cannot be formed through them. This talk shifts attention away from these well-known works to focus on the films Palestinians themselves were making at this time\, exploring how they engaged differently with the ideas that animated Adachi and Godard\, as well as those articulated in the third cinema texts of Latin American filmmakers. \nNadia Yaqub (PhD University of California\, Berkeley\, 1999)\, is professor of Arabic language and culture in the department of Asian studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her research addresses film\, gender\, and literature from the Arab world. She is the author of Pens Swords and the Springs of Art: The Oral Poetry Dueling of Weddings in the Galilee (Brill 2006) and Palestinian Cinema in the Days of Revolution (University of Texas Press 2018).
