The Seminar on the Near East and the World

The Seminar on the Near East and the World was established in 2013 to provide a forum to examine interactions between the Near East with the wider world, especially, but not exclusively, in the realm of international relations. Among the topics that the seminar has explored are the regional consequences of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the historical role and current predicament of Christianity in the Near East, and American foreign policy toward the region. The Seminar on the Near East and the World seeks to offer a variety of opinions and perspectives and makes no endorsements.
