Majlis Informal Discussion Group Every Other Wednesday Happening Today
All undergraduate and graduate students are invited to participate in Majlis, a biweekly informal discussion group on Southwest Asia and North Africa, or SWANA. Discussion is open to anyone interested, regardless of their level of knowledge. Majlis is from 1:30-2:30 p.m today at Old Main 202C.
Majlis, the Arabic word for gathering, is led and organized by Samer Mayyas, a doctoral student in the Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies Program. These meetings will offer a unique opportunity for interested people of all backgrounds and levels to discuss topics related to the region and beyond in an informal, outside-the-classroom setting. No specific knowledge is required to participate, and all are welcome.
If you miss it today, the next meeting is on April 27. We hope to see you there!
For more information about Majlis, contact Mayyas at samayyas@uark.edu.
