    DR. DADOYAN DISCUSSES ISLAM AND THE ARMENIANS
    At the University of Michigan

    PARADIGMS OF A NEAR EASTERN DIALECTIC ON JANUARY 27, 2009, AT THE
    UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, ANN ARBOR

    Professor Seta Dadoyan will be the featured speaker on January 27,
    2009, at a University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, public lecture event
    sponsored by the Armenian Studies program at that
    University. Dr. Dadoyan will speak on "Islam and the Armenians:
    Paradigms of a near Eastern Dialectic."

    Dr. Seta B. Dadoyan is currently teaching courses at St. Nersess
    Armenian Seminary at New Rochelle, NY and Queens College, CUNY. She
    was professor of cultural studies at the American University of Beirut
    1986-2005 and had previously taught at Haigazian University and the
    Lebanese-American University.

    The focus of her research and publications is the study of Armenian
    social-political and intellectual cultures in their interactive
    aspects within the Near Eastern world, both medieval and modern.

    Dr. Dadoyan has published close to fifty articles in scholarly
    journals in Armenian and English. She is the author of five books,
    including Pages of West Armenian Philosophical Thought (Beirut, 1987),
    John of Erzinjan - Sources of his 'Views from the Writings of Islamic
    Philosophers': Rasa'il Ikhwan al-Safa (Beirut, 1991), The Fatimid
    Armenians: Cultural and Political Interactions in the Near East
    (Brill, 1997).

    Professor Dadoyan's The Armenians and Islam: Paradigms of Medieval
    Interactions, her opus magnum, will soon be published by E. J. Brill.

    In addition to her public appearance, Dr. Dadoyan will also deliver
    two lectures for a new course being taught by Prof. Gerard Libaridian,
    "Islam and Armenians" this semester at the University of Michigan.
