Leadership for a New Era
Leadership for a New Era: Fostering Leadership for Public Well-Being
We live in an increasingly interconnected, complex, and uncertain world. In this new era intellectual capital drives success, talent is often an organization’s most valuable asset, and organizational survival and societal advancement depend on continuous innovation.
‘Leadership for public well-being’ is critical to meeting the challenges of this era. It harnesses the power of intellectual capital and collective action to advance the well-being of entire societies rather than the private interests of a few individuals. What are examples of this form of leadership in the Arab region, and what will it take to see more groups exercising it? Exemplars of leadership for public well-being will tackle these questions from the corporate, philanthropic/civil society and state perspectives.

Texts and Textiles
Texts and Textiles: Thinking Historically About Material Culture in the Medieval Islamic World
Medieval Arabic chronicles are filled with references to clothing and textiles, but no artifact from an archaeological excavation has ever been associated with a known literary reference. How, then, do medieval Islamic historians interpret the abundant literary evidence about textiles? And how do we provide an historical context in which to understand the textiles that are known to us? This lecture explores these questions by discussing how historians can use a combination of archaeological finds, Arabic literary texts of different genres, and scarce Judeo-Arabic documentary materials from the Cairo Geniza to reconstruct the meanings of terms found in literary texts, to gain an understanding of the functions and meanings of objects within their societies, and to address broad questions of historical interpretation.

The Shape of the Argument
After insistent vague realizations (signs of consciousness or merely the platitude of self-serving delusion?) the artist investigates: the normalizing institution and its stifling horizons; the relationship between value and aesthetics; willful misreadings by 101 critics; the charged moments of transactions and loss; and last but not least the artist's secret anger–the drama and its pleasure.
