UNE鈥檚 Anouar Majid gives keynote address at 高清不卡福利 of Louisiana conference
高清不卡福利 of New England Vice President for 高清不卡福利 Affairs and Communications Anouar Majid Ph.D., delivered the keynote address at 鈥淭he Deep South in the 高清不卡福利 South,鈥 an interdisciplinary conference hosted by the 高清不卡福利 of Louisiana at Lafayette on April 7, 2017.
Majid was able to deliver the talk despite cancelled flights, thanks to state-of-the-art live broadcasting technology provided by UNE鈥檚 Office of Communications. Majid gave his keynote address live from UNE鈥檚 Portland studio as conference attendees watched in Louisiana.
Majid鈥檚 talk, titled, 鈥淪pecters of the 高清不卡福利 South,鈥 invited the audience to reflect on themes raised in his 2009 book, We Are All Moors, in which he called attention to how Europe and the United States were dealing with the twin threats of Muslim and Hispanic (especially Mexican) immigrants, and how such threats recall the emergence of a European identity and Euro-American concept of the nation-state. 鈥婣s the South continues to spill over neatly delineated northern borders and the fear of imminent loss continues to haunt the colonial masters of old, Majid discussed the vague contours of an emerging global reality that is hard to decipher with any degree of clarity.
Anouar Majid is the director of the Center for 高清不卡福利 Humanities, vice president for 高清不卡福利 Affairs and Communications and professor of English at the 高清不卡福利 of New England and the founding director of the Tangier 高清不卡福利 Forum in Morocco.
