Dr Vicken Cheterian teaches in the Faculty of Media Communication and International Relations, Webster University
Geneva and is a Lecturer in International Relations at Global Studies Institute, Faculté des Lettres, Unité d’Arménien. He will deliver a lecture titled 'Religion and Nation: Sectarianism in the Middle East' on Tuesday 6th June at 5pm in the Allen & Overy Room at Pembroke College. This event is free and open to all. 

This is the final event in the Eastern Christianity and Islam Lecture Seminar Series, which is running on Tuesdays at 5pm-6.30pm throughout Trinity term at Pembroke College.

These lectures will highlight the various aspects of the relationship of Eastern Christianity with Islam in history and modern times. Multi-ethnic Christian communities are amongst the most ancient natives in the Middle East and the wider West Asia region. While small in numbers relative to global Christianity, Eastern Christian communities have deep religious and cultural roots in the region. They have coexisted with Islam for centuries in peace and in conflict. This is the continuation of the series on Eastern Christianity held during previous terms.

The conveners are Dr Hratch Tchilingirian and Prof Theo Maarten van Lint, the Oriental Institute, University of Oxford.
