Marc Lynch, Professor of Political Science and International Affairs and Director of the Project on Middle East Political Science (POMEPS) at George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs, will discuss his new book, America’s Middle East: The Ruination of a Region. Lunch will be served at 12:15 p.m.

From the Gulf War to Gaza, the book examines how and why Washington became entangled in the Middle East, situating U.S. policy within the broader trajectory of its post–Cold War foreign policy in the region.
