Prof. ELAINE C. HAGOPIAN
"Syria: Pivotal or Pariah State?"

A frequent past speaker at Community Church, Elaine Hagopian is Professor
Emerita of Sociology at Simmons College. She has been studying Arab politics
for over 50 years and has regularly taught and done research in the area.

Her talk will focus on the leadership of Bashar Assad in the face of an
authentic and democratic protest movement, complicated by an Islamic
challenge. The latter is intermixed with the protests and underwritten by
Saudi Arabia, the U.S. and Israel, seeking to break up the alliance between
Syria, Iran and Hezbollah. Come and learn!
