SUMMARY:The Home I Worked to Make: Voices from the New Syrian Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:Online Zoom Webinar\n\nIn 2011\, Syrians took to the streets de
 manding freedom. Brutal government repression transformed peaceful protest
 s into one of the most devastating conflicts of our times\, killing hundre
 ds of thousands and displacing millions. In this Crown Seminar\, Wendy Pe
 arlman\, in conversation with Basileus Zeno\, will explore how this violen
 ce not only drove Syrians from their homes but also forced them to rethink
  the meaning of home itself. Drawing from her new book\, The Home I Worke
 d to Make: Voices from the New Syrian Diaspora (Liveright 2024)\, Pearlma
 n will analyze the Syrian refugee crisis as a transformative diaspora expe
 rience that offers broader insights into migration\, identity\, community\
 , and belonging\, especially amid intensifying anti-migrant rhetoric acros
 s the world.\n\nWendy Pearlman is Professor of Political Science at North
 western University.\n\nBasileus Zeno is an Assistant Professor in the Dep
 artment of Political Studies at Trent University in Canada.\n\nThis event 
 is free and open to the public.\nWednesday\, October 9\, 2024\n11 am -12:1
 5 pm EST\nOnline (registration required)
