Discussion on ISIS continues on Oct. 8
Baalbaki, an instructor for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at CCU, and a group of interested students and faculty members will discuss developments in a rapidly changing Middle East. The discussions are designed to help students and community members think about contemporary political and ethical issues in the Middle East in the larger historical and religious context.
Baalbaki was born and raised in Lebanon and spent the last 17 years of his career in the Middle East before retiring in America in 2012. His legal consulting work took him to more than 20 countries in the Middle East. Baalbaki has gained a deep insight into the dynamics of the Middle East through formal and informal discussions and observation of the business, social and religious aspects of life in the area.
The Edwards College is located at 133 Chanticleer Drive West in Conway. Admission is free, and tickets are not required.
