Anouar Majid gives lecture and presides over panel at conference in Morocco

Anouar Majid, Ph.D., associate provost for Global Initiatives and director of the Center for Global Humanities, recently gave a plenary lecture titled "America and the Arabs' Lost Heritage" at a conference in Marrakesh, Morocco.

In his lecture, Majid made the case that, in many ways, the revolutionary and democratic traditions of the United States are a painful reminder of the opportunities lost by Arabs in the modern period and that Arabs need to rethink their own history to better understand the meaning of the American Revolution.

Majid also presided over a panel on "The United States and the Politics of the Arab Spring."

The conference was sponsored by Hassan II Mohammedia/Casablanca University.
