SUMMARY:What Does the End of the Assad Regime Mean for Syria and Iran's Dominance in the Region?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Rebel forces in Syria have been steadily gaining ground in recent weeks. The culmination of their advances came on December 8\, when the Iranian backed President Bashar al-Assad was forced into exile in Russia\, essentially ending the 12-year civil war. Without Assad in power\, the influence of Iran has suffered a major blow in the region\, and potentially globally. \nJoin the ACG and the Center for Middle East and Global Order (CMEG) on December 12\, for a virtual discussion with Iran and Middle East expert Dr. Ali Fathollah-Nejad\, Founder and Director of CMEG. He will discuss the larger global impact of the end of Assad’s regime and the uncertain future for Syrians.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F2217337791528%2FWN__lD4ceA6Q82dcZGlJCCELw” css=”.vc_custom_1733779192222{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Dr. Ali Fathollah-Nejad is a German–Iranian political scientist and author focusing on Iran\, the Middle East\, and the post-unipolar world order.

SUMMARY:Double Exposure: Museums and the Remembrance of the Shoah
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]How is the Shoah addressed in museums? How do museums extend the representation and education of this singular rupture in the history of humankind to other genocides?
