Please join this exciting event titled: “Cultural Inquiry: New Spaces, New Objects: An Interdisciplinary Inquiry.” Cultural Inquiry is an innovative series of interdisciplinary research events that promotes fruitful exchanges and interactions between the Middle East and the United States. The series seeks to address and uncover the specific synergies at work in the East-West dialectic, connection, and circulation. Reading and reaching across disciplinary boundaries, Cultural Inquiry fosters rich and intellectually stimulating dialogues through research seminars, lecture series, creative events, exhibitions, and conferences. Cultural Inquiry brings scholars and research students together with the aim to reframe and to transform contemporary criticism by focusing attention, in various ways, on transdisciplinary studies, cross cultural dialogues, and cultural/visual theories from the Renaissance to the Modern.
