Jihad & Co.: Black Markets and Islamist Power<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday, October 26, 2017, 7:30 p.m.<\/em>
\nBarney Danson Theatre<\/em>
\nTickets: $10; $7 for students, seniors and Members<\/em>
\nWhat\u2019s the key to success for militant Islamists? In her book Jihad & Co.: Black Markets and Islamist Power<\/em>, political scientist Aisha Ahmad offers a new explanation for the success of some ideologically-inspired groups: their ability to work within and exploit local economies. In this lecture, part of our World at War \u2013 International Speaker Series<\/strong>, she demonstrates that while civil wars and insurgencies provide opportunities to establish political control, it\u2019s through business savvy that extremists gain and maintain their power. Ahmad, an expert in international security and conflict dynamics at the University of Toronto, tracked the activities of modern Islamist groups to uncover the economic drivers of complex security crises. Her ground-breaking research, including extensive interviews with jihadists and merchants from Somalia, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and new fieldwork on the wars in Mali, Syria and Iraq, challenges conventional wisdom by offering a rationalist explanation for the rise of Islamism.
\nSeating is limited.<\/strong> Tickets may be purchased at Ticketing, by calling 819-776-7000 or from our website at warmuseum.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shannon Lecture Series for 2017<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The History Department\u2019s Shannon Lecture Series for 2017, will commence on September 22, 2017. This year\u2019s lecture series looks at Expo 67 as the highlight of Canada\u2019s centennial. A world\u2019s fair held in Montreal, it dazzled the world with its daring architecture, innovative exhibits, and high-minded theme, \u201cMan and His World.\u201d Many Canadians regarded it as Canada\u2019s coming-out party, a moment when the young nation burst into the international limelight and strutted its stuff to universal acclaim. Substitute \u201cQuebec\u201d or \u201cIndigenous Peoples\u201d for \u201cCanada\u201d in the previous sentence and it would be equally true \u2013 Expo 67 was a rich, multivalent spectacle that generated diverse messages. In Canada\u2019s 150th<\/sup> anniversary year, the 杏吧原创 Department of History is revisiting Expo 67 to reflect upon the meaning of it all. A select group of lecturers will address key topics such as Expo\u2019s intellectual origins, how it became a proud emblem of modernization for both Canadian and Quebec nationalists, its impact on Indigenous rights and culture, and its iconic stature in the histories of architecture and cinema. X out the dates in your calendar to experience exposition by Expo experts that will expand your mind exponentially.
