On the Georgetown campus, Dr. El Guindi was a panelist on the program organized and chaired by Professor Yvonne Haddad called “Arab Intellectuals in the Twentieth Century: Between the Islamists and the Secularists.” Dr. El Guindi’s talk was titled “Are Women Intellectuals?”Her new book is Visual Anthropology: Essential Method and Theory, a timely publication since Professor El Guindi is teaching a new class this spring semester, “Visual Anthropology and Arab Ethnography.”On a different trajectory, Dr. El Guindi’s daughter Magda, a corporate attorney in DC, recently had a baby boy, Aidan. This is Dr. El Guindi’s first grandchild. Mabrouk!
