Join members of UCLA’s Islamic Studies Program for the first lecture in a series discussing the history and relevance of cities of the premodern Middle East as sites of cross-cultural encounter. Dr. Timothy Garrett will explore the nuances of Jerusalem’s history following its integration into the Rashidun Caliphate and examine examples of interreligious cooperation and collaboration during some of the city’s most politically charged moments.
