Oakton Presents Iraq Expert One Year Into U.S. Occupation
Dr. Edward Odisho, a native of Iraq and renowned professor of linguistics at Northeastern Illinois University, will talk about the U.S. occupation of Iraq "one year later," on Friday, April 2 at the Ray Hartstein Campus of Oakton Community College, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie. This "brown bag" lecture is presented from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., as part of Oakton's "Digesting the News" series. A $5 donation is requested.
Dr. Odisho left Iraq when Saddam Hussein took power in the 1970s. In addition to his many academic pursuits, he and his son, a graduate of the Air Force Academy, instruct U.S. military personnel about the cultures of Iraq before they are deployed overseas.
Sponsored by Oakton Educators for Social Responsibility, "Digesting the News" is designed to provide a forum to discuss current topics concerning peace and justice. The series concludes Friday, May 7, with George Lungu, Oakton adjunct professor of political science and history, examining the myths and realities of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
