SUMMARY:The Middle East
DESCRIPTION:The term “Middle East” is a changing geopolitical concept. Throughout recent history\, this term referred to a political\, cultural\, and geographical region with no clear boundaries. Moreover\, this concept serves to generate stereotypes and misunderstandings. This multimedia presentation by Mohamed Defaa provides an analytical framework to understand the histories\, social identities\, and cultures behind this complex concept of “Middle East.” \nMohamed Defaa is certified by the International Center for Educational and Cultural Consulting in Lyon\, France. He earned an MA in Communication and Expression at the University Mohamed V in Rabat\, Morocco\, and a BA in French Language and Literature from the University Ibn Tofail in Kénitra\, Morocco. He has received an Advanced Counterterrorism and Homeland Security Certificate from Southern New Hampshire University. \nDefaa has served as an assistant professor of Communication and Cultural Expression at the University Hassan the Second in Casablanca\, Morocco\, and a college instructor in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. He is a French and Arabic teacher at Merrimack High School\, and an Arabic instructor at Southern New Hampshire University. \nThis talk is free\, open to the public\, and accessible to those with disabilities. To request accommodations or for more information\, contact the library at 802-875-2277 or info@whitinglibrary.org. \nThe Middle East is a Vermont Humanities Council program hosted by Whiting Library.
