Multi-Ethnic Cultural Production in the Middle East: A Dialogue Series

Join us on September 9 for the launch of a two-year project that brings students, faculty, and community members together to explore culture, dialogue, and collaboration in the Middle East. RSVP at go.osu.edu/MCRME-Sept-9

This series, supported by the Melton Center for Jewish Studies, the Middle East Studies Center, and the Center for Ethics and Human Values, began as a response to recent events and the need for open, thoughtful conversation.

At this first event, you’ll:

  • Hear the story behind the project’s founding
  • Join a guided discussion about dialogue across difference
  • Learn how you can get involved in upcoming activities—from cultural experiences like food, dance, and storytelling to research collaborations and roundtables

Whether you’re deeply engaged in Middle Eastern studies or simply curious, this is your chance to ask questions, connect with others, and be part of important conversations on campus. Lunch will be served. Be sure to RSVP at go.osu.edu/MCRME-Sept-9
