About the Presentation:
Between 1831 and 1914, cholera spread from India to Mecca and the Hijaz on at least forty separate occasions. This talk traces the development of Ottoman and international quarantine and public health controls in the Hijaz, Red Sea, and Persian Gulf between 1865 and World War I. Low argues that pandemic cholera and the inter-imperial public health and travel regulations that its reign of terror spawned were foundational to the creation of the modern system of mass pilgrimage that we know today. In light of our current global crisis with the COVID-19 pandemic and its role in Saudi Arabia’s difficult decision to dramatically restrict hajj and umrah travel over the past two years, the relevance of Mecca’s pandemic past raises urgent new questions for understanding the present and future of pilgrimage management and even wider questions of mass mobility, travel restrictions, and border management in both the Global North and South.

About the Speaker:
Michael Christopher Low is Assistant Professor of History. Low received his PhD from Columbia University in 2015. He is the author of Imperial Mecca: Ottoman Arabia and the Indian Ocean Hajj (Columbia University Press, 2020). Imperial Mecca will soon be available in translation in Arabic and Turkish. Low is also the co-editor of The Subjects of Ottoman International Law (Indian University Press, 2020).

About the Presentation:
COVID-19 pandemic’s effects have been witnessed everywhere including language. New lexical items and sociolinguistic changes have been created in the wake of this global crisis. Some speakers have used several linguistic devices, such as neologisms or collocations, for dealing with COVID-19 through using affixation, compounding, blending, clipping, acronyms, and abbreviation. Other speakers adopted euphemistic and dysphemistic techniques to express what they intend to say and to reflect what they appreciate or depreciate. In addition, presidents and politicians referred to strong language and war metaphors in their daily speeches to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as to shape their fellow countrymen’s thoughts and view.

The effects of COVID-19 pandemic have been also found in the area of Translation Studies (TS). The pandemic produced an enormous amount of COVID-19 health information which urgently needs to be translated into different languages. Thus, translators play an influential role in the global response against COVID-19 by rendering and disseminating reliable information in a language the general public can understand. In response to this critical situation, translators have used modern translation technologies and online resources, but they have faced different financial and occupational challenges.

About the Speaker:
Sameer Naser Olimat is an assistant professor of translation and linguistics in the English Department, Al-Balqa Applied University, Salt, Jordan. He received his PhD in Translation Studies and Computational Linguists from the University of Leeds, UK, in 2019. He is interested in the areas of English-Arabic and Arabic-English translation, Qur'an translation, crisis translation, computational linguistics, and sociolinguistic. He is the founder of Leeds Corpus of Euphemisms in the Qur’an http://corpus.leeds.ac.uk/euphemismolimat/. He participated in national and international peer-reviewed conferences. He published several articles in peer-reviewed and specialized journals.

About the Presentations:

*Panic, Pestilence and Religious Coping*
Positive religious coping has frequently been associated with better mental health outcomes when dealing with stressful life events (e.g., natural disasters, domestic abuse, divorce). The COVID-19 pandemic, and the associated infection prevention and control measures (curfew, quarantine, restricted travel, social distancing), represent a society-wide stressor. This presentation will explored positive religious coping in general with a particular focus on Muslims. It will look at research examining responses to the early stages of the pandemic among religious and secular communities. We will argue that among some religious communities, positive religious coping was inversely related to the development of psychopathology during the pandemic. We conclude that positive (but not negative) religious coping during infectious disease outbreaks may help some individuals reduce their risk of mental health problems. National pandemic preparedness plans may benefit from including a focus on religion and religious coping

*Public Health and Pandemics across the MENA: A psychological Perspective on Arab Countries*
COVID-19 pandemic’s mental health impact on Arab countries is under-researched. The goal of this presentation is to share the results of two studies conducted longitudinally in Arab countries. The first study was conducted on 7 Arab countries (N=1743; conducted from 4/28/2020 to 5/25/2020.), and the second on 11 Arab countries (N=2734; conducted from January to March 2021, 10 months after the first study). A questionnaire including measures of COVID-19 traumatic stress, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and cumulative stressors and trauma was distributed anonymously online, both times. ANOVA results indicated significant differences in COVID19 traumatic stress, PTSD, depression, and anxiety between the countries. Post-hoc analysis indicated that Egypt is significantly higher than all the other Arab countries in COVID-19 traumatic stress, PTSD, anxiety, and depression due, at least in part, to higher density, lower socioeconomic status, and the actual higher rates of infection. The subsample from Palestine and Iraq had a significantly higher cumulative trauma load than the other Arab countries but did not have higher levels of COVID-19 traumatic stress or PTSD. Hierarchical regression indicated that COVID-19 traumatic stress accounted for significant variance above and beyond the variance accounted for by previous cumulative stressors and traumas. In the second study, which was conducted ten months later, we found that the level of infection skyrocketed; however, the level of PTSD, depression and anxiety were almost stable or slightly decreased. The level of COVID-19 stressors slightly decreased, but Egypt still had the highest COVID-19 stressors. The results reflect increased adjustment over time, even with increased infection and mortality.

About the Speakers:

Justin Thomas is professor of experimental psychology with an interest in the interface between culture, religion and psychopathology/wellbeing

Ibrahim A. Kira, PhD, is the director of Center for Cumulative Trauma Studies, Stone, GA, & affiliate of Center for Stress, Trauma and Resiliency, Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA. His research interest focuses on the dynamics of cumulative stressors/traumas and Stressors/traumas proliferation. He is the lead developer of the developmentally based trauma framework (DBTF) that focuses on the conceptual development and empirical validation of a novel conceptual paradigm of the dynamics of stressors/ traumas, especially in multiply traumatized populations. He is the first author of over 85 articles and chapter books on the subject.

Coming to America: Translating Arabic Fiction in the Age of Global Liberation (November 11, 2021 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88348 88348-21653427@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 11, 2021 4:30pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Comparative Literature

Join Comparative Literature as we welcome Nancy Roberts, free-lance Arabic-to-English translator and editor on November 11th, 2021 @ 4:30pm in room 4310 of the Modern Languages Building.

Translators of literary works perform numerous functions simultaneously in relation to both a written work and its author. These functions include the linguistic, the cultural, the socio-political and the personal. Varied though they are, these functions might be summed up in the words “partner” and “mouthpiece.” After a brief detour into how her life trajectory led her to the field of Arabic-English translation, Nancy Roberts will relate her attempts to serve as “partner” and “mouthpiece” in the process of translating works originating in Palestine (Ibrahim Nasrallah’s Time of White Horses [زمن الخيول البيضاء], Lanterns of the King of Galilee [قناديل ملك الجليل] and Gaza Weddings [أعراس آمنة], and Ahlam Bsharat’s Codename: Butterfly [اسمي الحركي فراشة]) and Libya (Najwa Bin Shatwan’s, The Slave Yards [زرايب العبيد], and Ibrahim al-Koni’s The Night Will Have Its Say [كلمة الليل في حق النهار]).

Nancy Roberts is a free-lance Arabic-to-English translator and editor with experience in the areas of modern Arabic literature, politics and education; international development; Arab women’s economic and political empowerment; Islamic jurisprudence and theology; Islamist thought and movements; and interreligious dialogue. Literary translations include works by Ghada Samman, Ahlem Mostaghanemi, Naguib Mahjouz, Ibrahim Nasrallah, Ibrahim al-Koni, Salman al-Farsi, Laila Al Johani, and Haji Jabir, among others. Her translation of Ghada Samman’s Beirut ’75 won the 1994 Arkansas Arabic Translation Award; her rendition of Salwa Bakr's The Man From Bashmour (Cairo: AUC Press, 2007) was awarded a commendation in the 2008 Saif Ghobash-Banipal Prize for Translation, while her English translations of Ibrahim Nasrallah’s Gaza Weddings (Cairo: Hoopoe Press, 2017), Lanterns of the King of Galilee (AUC Press, 2015) and Time of White Horses (Cairo: Hoopoe Reprint, 2016) won her the 2018 Sheikh Hamad Prize for Translation and International Understanding. She is based in Wheaton, Illinois.

This event will be held IN PERSON.

About the Presentations:

*Alcohol harm reduction in Lebanon: The Context, the iIndustry and the Young Consumer*
Alcohol is a recognized global public health and sustainable development issue. The Arab world includes 22 diverse countries stretching from North Africa to Western Asia having varying dispositions with regards to alcohol sale and consumption. The talk will summarize the state of alcohol use research in the Arab world, and its implications; describe the experiences/views of Arab adolescents with regards to behavioral and structural determinants of underage drinking; and discuss effective harm reduction strategies and key implementation considerations.

*The Role of Islam in Public Health Policy on Smoking Cessation*
In the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office some 14 years ago, a ‘religiously inspired approach’ was proposed to combat tobacco use. This promoted a useful debate in the region. The purpose of this talk is to argue the need to identify the role which Islamic beliefs and teachings play (1) in influencing individual motivation to quit smoking and (2) in gaining support for public policies to reduce smoking. Ramadan and Hajj are taken as key points. These, it is argued, are times when Muslim religious motivation to abstain from smoking is strongest. I will suggest that the evidence base is not strong enough to adopt such an approach, which would be unique to this region. Rather, all of civil society, including Muslim religious authorities, should support the efforts of health professionals to encourage smoking cessation.

Dr. Ayesha S. Chaudhry will discuss her recent book The Colour of God. The Colour of God is the heartfelt story of a South Asian child raised in Canada, born to parents who embraced a puritanical version of Islam to shield their family from racism. Fusing grand historical narratives of colonialism and migration to the small, intimate heartbreaks of modern life, Ayesha S. Chaudhry examines the joys and sorrows of growing up in a fundamentalist Muslim household. A crisis of faith, brought on by the sudden death of a loved one, leads her to re-examine the beliefs and ideals she was raised with.

Braiding together Western, South Asian and Qur’anic storytelling styles, Chaudhry illuminates what it means to exist in a world that demands something different from each of her identities. With lyrical prose and scholarly precision, she weaves her personal experiences with incisive social commentary, inviting us to reimagine our ideas of self and family, of state and citizenship, of love and loss.

Bio: Ayesha S. Chaudhry is the Canada Research Chair in Religion, Law and Social Justice and Professor of Islamic studies and Gender studies at the University of British Columbia. She is a Member of the College of the Royal Society of Canada, and a Pierre Elliott Trudeau Fellow. She has held residential fellowship at the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Study at UBC and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. She is the author of The Colour of God (Oneworld, HarperCollinsIndia, 2021) and Domestic Violence and the Islamic Tradition: Ethics, Law, and the Muslim Discourse on Gender (Oxford University Press, 2014). Dr. Chaudhry’s research focuses on Islamic law and theology.
