Focus on Global Religions

On April 11, Dr. Anna Bigelow offered the VGCC educational community a presentation entitled "Religion and the Arab Spring" in which she addressed the role of religion in the current Middle East uprisings commonly referred to as the "Arab Spring."  Dr. Bigelow is Associate Professor of Islamic Studies in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at NC State University.

The VGCC LRC offers the opportunity to continue the discussion by providing a wide variety of print and electronic resources covering global religions and the Middle East.  On our website, this month's Featured Authors & Works showcases Dr. Bigelow and several works covering these topics.  In addition, our highly regarded Gale database Global Issues IN CONTEXT provides current information on Syrian Civil Unrest and Arab Spring and other related topics.
