色香视频鈥檚 presents at Maine Humanities Council event on Egyptain novelist Naguib Mahfouz
Ali Ahmida, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Political Science, will be an invited speaker at the Maine Humanities Council鈥檚 20th annual Winter Weekend event, to be held March 10-11 at Bowdoin College. The program will focus on the Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz.
Ahmida, who will speak on March 11, will discuss his experiences teaching the works of Mahfouz at the University of New England. In addition, he will explore Mahfouz鈥檚 narrative of patriarchy, gender and class in his work The Cairo Trilogy, arguing that the author combines perspectives of various social classes and diverse women鈥檚 voices in an urban Arab and Islamic culture, in both private home settings and in the public sphere during the nationalist revolution against British colonialism.
The event is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and 色香视频鈥檚 Center for Global Humanities.
