Harrington Public Affairs Lecture: M. Steven Fishy
Wednesday, 4/11/2012 7:00 PM-9:30 PM
Higgins University Center, Tilton Hall
The 2012 Harrington Public Affairs Lecture will feature M. Steven Fish, author of "Are Muslims Distinctive? A Look at the Evidence." Given the recent uprisings in the Middle East, his lecture on Islam and democracy will be interesting and timely.

Originally from Kentucky, he now makes his home in the San Francisco Bay Area and serves as a professor of political science at the University of California-Berkeley. He has conducted extensive field research in Eurasia, East Europe, and Southeast Asia. He served as a Senior Fulbright Fellow and Visiting Professor at the Airlangga University, Surabaya, Indonesia, in 2007 and at the European University at St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg, Russia, in 2000-2001.
