Marquette – “Our Allies in the Middle East: The Future of Kurdistan” will be presented by Jessie Clark, a geographer at the University of Nevada-Reno, on Tuesday, March 8 from 9 to 10:30 a.m. in Jamrich 3319 at Northern Michigan University.
Kurdistan, a mountainous area made up of parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria, is home to one of the largest ethnic groups in the region: the Kurds. Most in the West know them as a close U.S. ally in the Middle East and a bulwark against the expansion of the so-called Islamic State. Dr. Clark will discuss what current regional and internal state conflicts in the greater Kurdish region mean for the future of Kurdistan.
The event is part of the 2016 Great Decisions Global Discussion Series which features critical examinations of foreign policy presented by a roster of nationally known experts.
