The Department of Social Science and Cultural Studies invites you to attend a lecture by the SLAS Distinguished Scholar Juan Cole, Richard P. Mitchell Collegiate Professor of History at the University of Michigan, on the question "Whatever Happened to the Arab Spring?" Professor Cole's lecture will be held on Monday, April 23, at 6 PM in the Alumni Reading Room.

Professor Cole's most recent books are ENGAGING THE MUSLIM WORLD (Palgrave Macmillan, March, 2009) and NAPOPLEON'S EGYPT: INVADING THE MIDDLE EAST (Palgrave Macmillan, 2007). Many of us also know him as the invaluable blogger of INFORMED COMMENT, columnist on the website TRUTHDIG, and frequent guest on PBS News Hour with Jim Lehrer. He has also appeared on ABC Nightly News, Nightline, the Today Show, Charlie Rose, Anderson Cooper 360, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, the Colbert Report, Democracy Now! and many others.

Please join us for what promises to be an informative and provocative evening.
