One day later, on Tuesday, November 27, we will be discussing Islam with a professor from the Universidad Autónoma, Luz Gómez, who is presenting her book Between Shari’a and Jihad: An intellectual history of Islamism (published by Los Libros de la Catarata). Participating in the event with the author will be Laura Galián, a researcher in Arab Studies at the University of Granada, and Carlos Cañete, a professor of Arab Studies at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
On Wednesday, the time will come to discuss politics, with the presentation of Between Spain and Palestine: A critical review of relations (published by Edicions Bellaterra), by Isaías Barreñada, the book’s coordinator and a professor of International Relations at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, as well as Ignacio Álvarez-Ossorio, a professor of Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Alicante, and José Antonio Sanahuja, a professor of International Relations at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
