Dr. Leila Zakhirvoa, Associate Professor of Political Science at Concordia, will present a Centennial Scholars Lecture, “Heat, Drought and Famine: The End of Population Growth in the Muslim World?” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28, in Morrie Jones Conference Center A-B, Knutson Campus Center.
Zakhirova's research examines the link between climate change and population growth in Muslim-majority countries. Her primary objective is to challenge the demographic forecast of the 2015 PEW study, which projects Islam to surpass Christianity (in terms of the number of followers) as the world’s predominant religion for the first time in history. Zakhirova’s research provides an alternative framework by rethinking population growth projections in Muslim majority countries for the next fifty years vis-a-vis climate change which could lead directly or indirectly to massive population reductions.

In this class students will study how American political life is now more polarized than at any time in recent history. What forces are driving this division and acrimony? How can political differences be bridged in constructive ways? This course focuses on the way that culture both supports and challenges democratic practice. Students will investigate how differing perceptions of community, identity, demography, and ideology shape the quality of political discourse and action.
Tomorrow (March 12) there will be another Politics Café from 12-1pm in Jones A/B. The topic of discussion will be "Challenges in the Middle East."
Please join the Political Science faculty for lunch and a discussion of Challenges in the Middle East, to be moderated by Dr. Leila Zakhirova.

How should we deal with Iran's nuclear weapons?
