Ernest Cole: Photographer

"Ernest Cole (1940–1990)—one of South Africa’s first black photo-journalists—created powerful photographs that revealed to the world what it meant to be black under apartheid. With imaginative daring, courage, and compassion, Cole portrayed the everyday lives of blacks as they negotiated apartheid’s racist laws and oppression. Apartheid, which means “apartness” in Afrikaans (the language of South Africa’s white minority of Dutch descent), was an often brutally enforced legal policy that separated people by race in all aspects of life, within a white supremacist hierarchy of power."

The Growing Divide Between the Sunni and Shia Worlds

Tuesday, September 16
6:30 — 8:30 pm

NYU’s Hemmerdinger Hall
Silver Center for Arts and Science, 100 Washington Square East

 

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.
