10/11/13 @6:00 pm in CSUF Hum 123. This event is part of the Left Bank's "World Workshops" series. Today's theme: FOCUS ON THE MIDDLE-EAST. Hosted by Dr. Hélène Domon, professor of French Studies at CSUF, and Abdulwahab Alzahrani, CSUF Computer Engineering student.
What are the forces dividing the Middle-East? This workshop will allow speakers to express alternate views on stemming factors of turbulence in the Middle-East, particularly in Syria, from the fight for natural resources (oil, gas, copper, gold, uranium) to foreign quests for dominance, from competing religious ideologies to socio-political clashes.
