Panel Discussion: How do we read the recent horrors brought on by the Islamic State of
Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and the continuing strife pitting Sunni against
Shia throughout the Middle East and beyond? Are the sectarian tensions
shaking the Islamic
world a passing convulsion, or do they constitute the harbinger of a
global confrontation, and what are the consequences for the United
States of such developments? To address these momentous questions, New
York University’s
Center for Dialogues will host three leading scholars on Islamic history
and politics on Tues., Sept. 16, 6:30-8:30 p.m. at NYU’s Jurow Hall
(Silver Center for Arts and Science, 100 Washington Sq. East [betw.
Washington and Waverly Places]).
The panelists include Richard Bulliet, Emeritus Professor of History,
Columbia University; former CIA analyst Judith Yaphe, professorial
lecturer, Elliott School of International Affairs, George Washington
University;
and Hossein Kamaly, assistant professor of Asian and Middle Eastern
cultures, Barnard College. The panel discussion will be moderated by
Mustapha Tlili, founder and director of the NYU Center for Dialogues.
It will be followed by a question and answer session.
