Winner of the 2010 Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature and shortlisted for the 2011 Arabic Book Prize, Brooklyn Heights has recently been translated for an English-speaking audience. For more information about the book and this webinar, please visit the Global Studies Outreach website.
The Global Literature Online Book Group for Educators (GLOBE) is organized by Harvard's Global Studies Outreach Committee. The program's 2014–15 lineup offers educators and community members the opportunity to hear from two regions or disciplines in conversation, as we explore regional context and history through contemporary narrative. Each session will include the opportunity for participant discussion and Q&A through video, audio, and text. Guiding questions and learning goals will be provided prior to each session, as well as accompanying non-fiction texts for suggested use in the classroom.
