Subject: Please Announce Upcoming Lecture
To: Patrick H O'Neil
Hello Professor O'Neil,
The CSOC Club is hosting a lecturer from UW Seattle this Thursday at 5 pm. Would you be able to forward this announcement to all P&G majors and minors? We would love to have students from a variety of departments attend this lecture.
Here's the info:
This Thursday, November 3rd at 5 pm is the second Fall Lecture of the Comparative Sociology Club. Our lecturer is Professor Michale Vincente Perez from UW Seattle. His talk is entitled: Religion and Everyday Nationalism Among Palestinian Refugees in Jordan.
Based on two-years of ethnographic research in The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Professor Perez will focus on the politics of everyday nationhood among Palestinian refugees. His talk will examine how Islam and nation combine to form particular ideas about the Palestinian homeland, people, and struggle and how these claims underscore the importance of understanding nationalism in the context of everyday discourse and practices.
The lecture will be at 5 pm in Room 101 of the SUB (the small classroom just behind the main dining area). Professor Perez will speak for ~30 minutes, followed by Q & A and mingling!
As always, stellar refreshments will be provided!
