2013 Winter Lecture Series

This year's four-part Winter Lecture Series will dig deep into the issues that shaped the modern Middle East – and try to forecast what the region might look like in the wake of the Arab Spring.

The 2010-2011 uprisings left a mark on the region, but how did the Middle East get to this point? And what we can we learn from the century of turmoil and crisis that preceded it? These are among the many questions that three UW professors will try to answer throughout the series.
