Lecture to Explore Islamist Parties and Social Welfare
Assistant Professor of Political Science Shanna Kirschner will present a talk titled “Islamist Parties and Social Welfare” on Tuesday, Feb. 9 at 6 p.m. in Room 105A of 400 N. Main St. (the former Oddfellows Building) on the Allegheny College campus. The talk, which is free and open to the public, is part of a lecture series on Islam by Kirschner and Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies Vika Gardner.
“Islamist parties have gained growing support in many Middle Eastern countries, causing consternation among some policy-makers,” said Kirschner. “A large part of these parties’ appeal lies in the social services they provide, as well as their oppositional status. This talk will examine the trajectories of several of these parties and what this means for regimes in the Middle East and for U.S. foreign policy.”
