Middle East Perspectives

Join School of Liberal Arts faculty experts and university moderators for an academic discussion about Middle East Perspectives. This event aims to provide a space for all interested students to learn more and to foster civil engagement through respectful dialogue. 

In a letter to the Tulane community in December 2023, the university committed to fostering “learning opportunities through which students can explore the history of the present conflict in the Middle East and the origins and antecedents of movements that have led to discrimination and violence against Jews, Muslims and other ethnic and religious groups.”
