For the last 15 years an annual lecture has been given at UT in the memory of a UT economics professor named Ramzy Mikhail. He and his wife were very prominent in the local Arab community.
The lectures deal with "Arab culture, history, politics, economics or other broadly-defined aspects of life in the countries of the Middle East, including issues of peace and justice."
I have been to all 14 of the past lectures but will likely miss this one unless everything works out just right on my flight from New York that lands in Detroit at 2pm.
These lectures have all been interesting and thought-provoking.
This year's lecture, "Prospects of Peace in Palestine and Israel" is by Thomas Abowd, a scholar who wrote this book.
