Russia has been deeply entangled with the Arab world since the 19th century, but it is only recently that scholars have begun to examine these connections seriously. Three veteran scholars who have edited a source book together on the topic—Russian-Arab Worlds: A Documentary History (Routledge, 2023)—will join forces to think together about the state of the field, potential sources and directions for future research, and to contemplate how the past relates to current events in Israel/Palestine and Syria. This event should be helpful for students seeking to conduct research in the region, but it is also designed to be accessible for general audiences curious about what is happening in the Arab world today and why. The conversation will be followed by a reception.
If you cannot attend in person, you may register to watch this event on Zoom.
