SUMMARY:Buffett First Friday Lunch | Syria After Assad with Wendy Pearlman
UID:630087@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Syria After Assad   Join the Roberta Buffett Institute for a faculty research lunchtime talk series on the first Friday of every month. Faculty members give a half-hour talk intended for a broad\, multidisciplinary audience of Northwestern students\, faculty\, and staff\, followed by a conversational Q&A. Lunch is provided beginning at 12:15 p.m.  January's Buffett First Friday Lunch will feature Wendy Pearlman\, Jane Long Professor of Arts & Sciences and Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University's Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences.  In this talk\, Professor Pearlman will examine a pivotal turning point in Syria’s history: the collapse of the Assad regime after decades of dictatorship and war. Drawing from more than 500 interviews with displaced Syrians featured in her two recent books\, We Crossed A Bridge and It Trembled and The Home I Worked to Make\, as well as observations from her recent trip to Syria\, Pearlman will put the collapse of the Assad regime in a broader political context and consider what is at stake\, in human terms.  Please note that 720 University Place is not an ADA-accessible space. Increasing physical access to buildings and facilities is a goal of the University\, but not all buildings and venues have been updated.\n\nRegister: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/buffett-first-friday-lunch-syria-after-assad-tickets-1665322015979?aff=PlanitPurple
