[MES Forum] Monday: Kuwaiti Oral Histories

[McClimans, Melinda]

Dear MES Forum,

On Monday at 1:00pm we’re going to be speaking with scholars at the Library of the American University of Kuwait about their project to collect oral histories documenting the social impacts of oil discovery, the invasion of Iraq and the 1991 Gulf War. Thanks to Magda El-Sherbini for organizing the event<https://library.osu.edu/events/preserving-the-history-of-kuwait-through-the-oral-history-and-documentation-project-at-the>!

Please register here<https://library.osu.edu/events/preserving-the-history-of-kuwait-through-the-oral-history-and-documentation-project-at-the> and join us for a unique opportunity to learn about Kuwaiti culture. Also on Monday, at 4:00, Michael Gilsenen will give a talk on “A Trust in the Family<https://nesa.osu.edu/events/trust-family>. Wealth and inheritance under colonial legal regimes in the Arab-Southeast Asian diaspora.”

Have a great weekend! Feel free to reach out to Magda or I if you have any questions about the Kuwait event<https://library.osu.edu/events/preserving-the-history-of-kuwait-through-the-oral-history-and-documentation-project-at-the>.
