In the 1930s, an archaeological team at the Penn Museum captured nearly 300 photographs of Yezidi life in northern Iraq — weddings, pilgrimages, laughing children. After the 2014 genocide destroyed homes, shrines, and local archives, those images took on new meaning.
Our postdoctoral fellow Nathaniel Brunt co-leads the Sersal Project with Penn PhD candidate Marc Marín Webb.
They present on their work at Penn's Middle East Center on April 23, 5:30–7:00 pm ET.

Books about race, gender, sexuality, colonial history—these are among the most challenged titles in Canadian schools and libraries. 🚫📚
This week is Freedom to Read Week (Feb 22–28), and our colleagues at UVic Libraries have created a display that puts those books front and centre—because the best response to a challenge is to read the challenged books! ✊
Stop by McPherson Library to have a look. 👀
