The Home I Worked to Make: New Voices from the Syrian Diaspora

Announced by the University of Pittsburgh

In 2011, Syrians took to the streets demanding freedom. Brutal government repression transformed peaceful protests into one of the most devastating conflicts of our times, killing hundreds of thousands and displacing millions. In this Crown Seminar, Wendy Pearlman, in conversation with Basileus Zeno, will explore how this violence not only drove Syrians from their homes but also forced them to rethink the meaning of home itself.
