letturearabe di Jolanda Guardi - Ho sempre immaginato che il paradiso fosse una sorta di biblioteca (J. L. Borges)
Afarensis: Anthropology, Evolution and Science
In September 2005 I started the blog Tabsir (“Insight”) with several other colleagues to provide information on the Middle East as a supplement to the news and to note items of interest. The blog has been in hibernation since late 2018 as I simply had no time to keep it going. I am reviving the blog for posting items time to time and hope to involve several other academic colleagues as well.
On April 9 the Middle East historian Jere Bacharach, emeritus professor at the University of Washington, passed away. He was an amazing individual, great scholar and friend. He will be missed. For the department memoriam, click here .
