Description

Director of CASAR Professor Mark W. Deets, also a current member of the History department of AUC specialist in African Studies acted as moderator for this Event. CASARs two guest panelists in this discussion were visiting scholar Professor David Dumke and Professor Karim Hagag. Dumke is the Executive Director of the Office of Global Perspectives & International Initiatives at the University of Central Florida (UCF). He teaches Middle East history, U.S. foreign policy, and American politics, and “has written extensively on these subjects.” He also is host and executive producer of WUCF-TV’s award-winning Global Perspectives (Public Broadcasting Service). Dumke spent the early years of his career in the United States Congress, and also has experience working with NGOs in the Middle East and North Africa. Panelist Karim Hagag is currently a Political Science professor at practice AUCs school of Global Affairs and Public Policy. Before his shift to academia, Hagag served for over 25 years as an Egyptian diplomat and has focused on “on US-Egyptian relations, Middle East regional security, arms control and non-proliferation, and Arab-Israeli diplomacy.” These two figures engaged in an important conversation surrounding the current events in Gaza, and discussed the Egyptian and American position, analyzing them in a global context and providing insights to the larger scene of the Palestinian-Isreali conflict. The conflict threatens the Biden Administration according to Dumke, and has changed United states politics. In Egypt, the conflict has been more humanitarian, and dealt with by preserving stability on the border as much as possible.
