Third Euro-Arab Conversation lecture

This third Euro-Arab Conversation lecture by Dr. Chloe Kattar, will explore the exchange of ideas and tropes between Europe and the Arab world by examining the circulation of right-wing discourse.

Dr. Kattar will unpack “The Genealogy of Right-Wing Discourse: What Western Conservatives Took from Middle Eastern Debates (1970s-2020)”. Dr. Kattar is a historian of the modern Middle East and an expert of the Lebanese Civil War. She is a Research Fellow at Darwin College, Cambridge and is a 2021-22 EUME Fellow of the Forum Transregionale Studien in Berlin.

The lecture will examine several concepts used by conservatives in the Middle East, France, the United Kingdom, and countries in Central Europe from the 1970s until today to reveal the Middle Eastern lineage of contemporary debates related to Islamophobia, coexistence, and others.

You can attend the lecture at the Turnzaal or online. Please register in advance.
