Printing Arab modernity: a book talk and discussion with Hala Auji, professor of Art History at the American University of Beirut.

Monday, November 14 | 12:00pm-1:30pm | Rubenstein 249 | Light snacks served after the talk.

Printing Arab modernity, the new book by Prof. Hala Auji investigates and analyses the American Missionary Press in Beirut in the early 20th century. In doing so, she analyzes these publications as important visual and material objects that provide unique insights into an era of changing societal concerns and shifting intellectual attitudes of Syria’s Muslim and Christian populations
