Join us for a series of events featuring scholars of Iraq and Afghanistan, as they reflect on the legacy of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq 20 years later. They will examine the relationship between racism, imperialism, and war, and look at the impact of US wars on the everyday life of people in Iraq and in the region. The speakers will also celebrate Iraq’s rich and diverse cultural life, its literature, and classical music.
