How has geography shaped the political and social landscape of the Middle East? How has the history of Islam determined contemporary realities? What can we learn from contemporary Arabic literature and films about cultures and lives of the people of the Middle East?
Join other Macalester alumni on campus for three days of lively learning and discussion as you explore traditions and tenets of Islam and its continuing influence on the boundaries, political movements, and cultures of the modern Middle East. Sociology Professor Khaldoun Samman serves as dean of this Summer Session, which features distinguished faculty members from Macalester and other colleges.
