אירוע // סדרת הרצאות: רוחות וקולות של העיר - ירושלים (סדרת קולות העיר) [פוליס, ירושלים & מקוון]

Dr. Tania Notarius and Lecturer Henri Gourinard of the Polis Institute are preparing the program for a new Interdisciplinary Colloquium, Souls and Sounds of the City, which aims to be a shared ground for researchers, writers, and students, interested in different aspects of the Jerusalem cultural heritage in its Near Eastern context (archaeology, anthropology, epigraphy and paleography, history, languages, etc). The objective of the colloquium is to share our academic activities in the field of Jerusalem and Near Eastern Studies, to develop a network within the scholarly community and the public in general, and to promote research at the Polis Institute.  Four lectures are planned for 2022, the first being held January 27.

The lectures will be held at the Polis Jerusalem Campus, classroom 6.  They will be free, open to the public, and available live online.  Lectures may or may not be recorded for future use depending on the permission of the speaker.  They are not part of the academic curriculum at Polis and anyone is welcome to be part of the network and suggest topics for future lectures.
