Last Spring Semester Majlis 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 cannot make it today, do not worry. We will be back in the fall. Have a great summer break!
For more information about Majlis, contact Mayyas at samayyas@uark.edu.
