[MES Forum] The Legacy of Winemaking in the Middle East with Barb Petzen

[McClimans, Melinda]

Dear MES Forum,

A week from today, my friend Barb Petzen<https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19338341.2020.1796746> will be in town to take part in our Seeds of Middle Eastern Culture<https://go.osu.edu/Mideast-food> project. She’ll be talking about Winemaking<https://mesc.osu.edu/events/legacy-winemaking-middle-east-barb-petzen> in the Middle East at 11:30 next Thursday, September 18th in room 100 of Enarson Classroom Building.

Register at go.osu.edu/winelegacy<https://go.osu.edu/winelegacy>

We’ll be talking about religious diversity in connection to the winemaking families of Turkey, Lebanon and other areas of the region, and how soil, growing, and harvest connect to culture and community. Please join us in what will be a lively discussion with a world-class educator and historian about a fascinating yet suppressed topic.

It’s going to be a unique opportunity for your students to learn about the diversity of the Middle East and gain new perspectives on religious and cultural diversity while learning about the history of the region. Please encourage them to join us!

I would greatly appreciate your support in promoting the event. The flyer is attached – please post it!

Best wishes,

Melinda
