Parkes Institute Inter Faith Lecture: Another Fateful Triangle: Jews, Muslims, Europe by Elisabeth Becker
Tuesday 14 November 18.00 – 19.30
Avenue Campus (Lecture Theatre C), University of Southampton SO17 1BF
In this talk, Elisabeth Becker invokes Stuart Hall's concept of a "fateful triangle", turning to the intersection of Jewish, Muslim, and European identities, specifically highlighting the ways in which Jewish-Muslim intersections shape European societies: both in terms of contemporary life and in terms of collective memory. This is a hybrid event, meaning you can attend in-person at Avenue Campus or online via Zoom.
