CCAS Director of Educational Outreach Zeina Seikaly visited Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville (SIUE) May 1 to participate in a series organized for the spring semester, “The Middle East: A Humanity Misunderstood.”
She conducted an afternoon workshop for approximately 25 students in SIUE’s education program, during which she spoke about culture and religion in the Middle East as well as Arab Americans and American Muslims. She also walked the group through a set of curriculum activities she had developed for the book by Egyptian author Mohieddin Ellabbad, The Illustrator’s Notebook. That evening, Ms. Seikaly gave the presentation, “Words Transcending Borders: Arab Voices in the American Classroom,” which offered more information about the Arab world and Islam and encouraged the use of literature to teach about the region. More than 200 community members and SIUE students, faculty, and staff attended the talk.
