SUMMARY:US Foreign Policy in the Middle East and the Changing Dynamics of the Region
DESCRIPTION:************UNFORTUNATELY DR. CASAGRANDA IS NOT FEELING WELL TODAY\, AND WE WILL HAVE TO RESCHEDULE THIS EVENT**********************\n  \nAbout Dr. Roy Casagranda \nDr. Roy Casagranda is a Professor of Government at Austin Community College (ACC). He is ACC’s Middle East Affairs expert. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. He is the founder and president of the Austin School\, lecture series. \nHis research interests lie at the intersection of politics\, history\, economics\, psychology\, and philosophy. He is a firm believer in a multidisciplinary approach. Circa 1025 A.D. Ibn Sina (Avicenna) said\, “The knowledge of anything\, since all things have causes\, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes.” \nIn addition to his responsibilities at ACC\, from September 2010 until early 2012 he wrote regularly for Merhnameh\, a leading Tehran-based reformist socio-political monthly on US and Arab politics and history\, until the magazine was shut down by the Islamic Republic.  He has also written articles for Hamshahri and Donya-e-Eqtesad Daily newspapers in Iran.  In the US he has written for the Austin American Statesman on the Arab Spring. \nDr. Casagranda will have just returned from Saudi Arabia and Bahrain\, and consequently\, should bring a very interesting perspective on the Hamas-Israeli conflict. \n\nParking at Neill-Cochran House House Museum: Free in the museum lot\, accessible via 23rd between Leon and San Gabriel; additional street parking available.
