Save the Date! Next BrownBag on November 14th.
We’ll meet on Friday, November 14th from 12-1 pm at the Jewish Studies Library (147 Bay State Rd, second floor). Pizza as usual, provided by the IR department.
This month we’ll be reading chapters from Yuksel Sezgin’s Human Rights under State-Enforced Religious Family Laws in Israel, Egypt and India in preparation for his lecture later that afternoon at 4pm at 121 Bay State Rd., first floor lecture room. I recommend Chapters 1, 4, and 6; however, if you’re feeling ambitious, Chapter 5 is also interesting for comparison, even though he won’t be specifically addressing Egypt in his talk.
I hope to see you all there and happy reading!
