Inaugural Lecture Today - 4:30pm - Dr. Iman Saca (St. Xavier) - 'The Pearl Of Qatar: A Story Retold, A Community Revived'

The DePaul Open Workshop in Anthropology (DOWiA) is a lecture and workshop series that provides a space for academics and students to present their latest research to a broader audience.The goals of the DOWiA are 1) to encourage scholars to present their work in a way that is accessible to the public, 2) to give students experience presenting research to a public audience, and 3) to cultivate dialogue between the public and academic researchers. DOWiA lectures are aimed specifically to present discussions of ongoing research in the social sciences to an audience that may not have an academic background, so speakers are encouraged  to explain their work in common terms.

This week we are pleased to present to present Dr. Iman Saca of St. Xavier University who will present her talk "The Pearl Of Qatar: A Story Retold, A Community Revived", on her current research in the Near East.The talk will be held at Clifton-Fullerton Hall (2350 N Clifton Ave), room 135, in the Lincoln Park campus. 

Refreshments will be provided.

DOWiA is an ongoing lecture series that will be held every Thursday at 4:30 and we hope to see you there. For additional information on the DOWiA please contact Dr. Christopher Milan at chris.milan235@gmail.com or Dr. David Pacifico at davidpacificophd@gmail.com or check our website: DePaulOWiA.blogspot.com.
