Webinar scheduled for March 31!
Our first webinar will be on Wednesday, March 31 from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM.Dr. Amanda McVety, from Miami University, will be discussing Middle East Conflicts. Please check the website over the next two weeks for more information and to register!
This session will use an examination of transformative moments in American relations with Israel and Iran to explain the larger story of U.S. involvement in the Middle East in the post-World War II period. Specific attention will be paid to the recognition of Israel, the 1953 coup in Iran, the October War, the Iranian Revolution, the Iran-Contra scandal, the First and Second Intifada, and the War on Terror. These key moments will provide concrete examples of broad shifts in U.S. policy towards the region over the past six decades. We hope that this session will offer you some new insights into the history of U.S. involvement in the Middle East and also provide you with a framework for advanced discussion of current foreign policy concerns in the region.
