April 21, 2008: IMES Brownbag Lecture
The Absence of Muslim Women from Making Islamic Thoughts:
Teaching About Muslim Women and Islam
Guest speaker: Dr. Nimat Hafez Barazangi, Cornell University
Recently, American-Muslim female scholars have significantly contributed to the re-interpretation of the Qur'an and particularly to the study of Muslim women. Yet, rarely do the US educational institutions acknowledge and mainstream such contributions for the reconstruction of new knowledge of Islam. Furthermore, the majority of university students in most Muslim countries are females, particularly in the Middle East. However, Muslim women have remained a passive force in changing the prevailing negative practice of Islamic thoughts and the so-called Islamic law concerning women. Dr. Barazangi will discuss why and how to re-think the teaching about Muslim women and Islam.
Dr. Nimat Hafez Barazangi is a research fellow at Cornell University. Barazangi's scholarly work with Arab, Muslim, and non-Muslim organizations and individuals in North America and the Muslim world has been intertwined with her academic research and achievements that resulted in over 45 published research articles and book reviews, edited journal, computerized instructional programs (http://www.eslelf-learning-arabic.cornell.edu), and two monographs: Woman's Identity and the Qur'an: A New Reading (The University Press of Florida, 2004), labeled by one reviewer as "the most radical book in the last 14th centuries of Islam." and a co-edited volume: Islamic Identity and the Struggle for Justice (The University Press of Florida, 1996). Her major Participatory Action Research projects, relating the Islamic world view that is based on faith and reason with research and community service, aim at educating in and about Islam and at integrating Muslims' and Arabs' world views with that of the Western world view of North America.

Responding to the Humanitarian Situation Facing Iraqis
Over the past 5 years, millions of Iraqis have been displaced or otherwise affected by violence in Iraq. On MONDAY, APRIL 14th, the Education for Peace in Iraq Center (EPIC) and a coalition of U.S.-based NGOs, including those operating inside Iraq and in the Middle East region, will convene an important Forum on the humanitarian crisis facing Iraqis.
Hosted by the Elliott School of International Affairs’ Institute for Middle East Studies at George Washington University, respected authorities will offer up-to-date reports from the field, analysis of current trends in violence and forced migration, an assessment of the U.S. & international humanitarian response to date, and policy options for improving humanitarian conditions for vulnerable populations affected by the war.

Business on the Nile
No effort to understand the Middle East is complete without taking a close at Egypt, by far the largest country in the region, nor can the region be understood without addressing the central role of economic growth and opportunity. Over the past five years, Egypt has turned its economic performance around and emerged as one of the most attractive locations for investment, both foreign and domestic.
The panelists, representing leading Egyptian businessmen and experts from the World Bank and US Government, will explore these issues from different perspectives and examine what needs to be done to secure continued growth and tackle pressing issues of equity, youth employment, and education.

April 3, 2008: Future of Democracy Initiative
Kuwait's Government in Crisis: Implications for Democracy
On March 19, the amir of Kuwait responded to the country’s internal political deadlock by dissolving the country’s parliament. Kuwaitis will go to the polls on May 17 to elect a new body. While the elections will be held in accordance with a new electoral law designed to create a more cohesive parliament, few expect the underlying tensions in the country—between the parliament and the cabinet, liberals and Islamists, Sunnis and Shi‘a, and even branches of the ruling family—to be resolved.
Please join us for a lunch on Thursday, April 3, 2008 at 12:30 p.m. at the Elliott School of International Affairs. Edward W. Gnehm, Kuwait Professor of Gulf and Arabian Peninsula Affairs and former US ambassador to Kuwait, will have just returned from Kuwait and will present his assessment of the country’s political crisis.

Partition Iraq? Imperial Iraq Strategies from Suleiman the Magnificent to Joseph Biden
Guest speaker:
Reidar Visser, Research Fellow, Norwegian Institute of International Affairs
The lands of Iraq have been ruled by foreigners for most of their history. Apart from an interlude of real independence between 1958 and 2003, outside forces have always been involved in Iraqi politics as power brokers, constantly concocting new strategies for how to best handle this complex country.
This lecture looks at the imperial strategies pursued by these outsiders, starting with the Ottomans in the 1500s and ending with the Americans after 2003. The main argument is that the partitionist policies currently being propagated by US Democrats (and implemented – albeit unintentionally – by the Bush administration) represent a dramatic break with the policies of America’s imperial predecessors in Iraq.
The lecture demonstrates that at no point between 1534 and 1958 did the Ottomans or the British contemplate a sectarian division of Iraq. This lack of historical precedent raises serious questions about the likely durability of the partition models currently under consideration in the US.

Iran's Role in the Post 9/11 Middle East
Guest speaker:
Dr. Kayhan Barzegar, Fellow, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
Owing to its geostrategic location, political-cultural characteristics and energy sources, Iran is a pivotal state in shaping the international politics of the Middle East.
Since 9/11 and the subsequent political developments in the region, Iran has been able to effectively impact the current most significant issues of global politics such as regional crisis(Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon), global terrorism and international energy security.
What are the roots of Iran’s emerging role in the region? What are the aims of Iran’s foreign policy toward the region and the great powers? Analyzing the roots of Iran’s foreign policy conduct from a regional perspective is a key to answering these questions.
