In 2019, the third year of the Trump presidency, data gathered by the Intelligence Project of the SPLC documents a continued and rising threat to inclusive democracy: a surging white nationalist movement that has been linked to a series of racist and antisemitic terror attacks and has coincided with an increase in hate crime. |

Iran is one of the main countries hit by the COVID-19 virus and has been in quarantine for a few weeks now. The US Institute of Peace has a great series of photos showing how the country is coping. (I found the pictures of elementary students being educated through TV broadcasts especially interesting.) The country is coping pretty well - though people are really disappointed that the Persian New Year festivities, two weeks of celebration of their biggest holiday, have been cancelled. |

A former MA student at the University of Arizona School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies created a wonderful film for his thesis project (dual degree in Journalism and MENAS) called “A Siege of Salt and Sand.” I’ve had a copy that I’ve used to great effect in high school classes (and it’s even better for adults!), and now I see it online for free. The 43-minute film shows the effect that climate change is having on Tunisia, which is squeezed by rising sea levels along the Mediterranean and desertification along the Sahara. |
