Why We Misunderstand the Middle East—And Why It Matters

Join Dr. Hamid Yazdi and explore how media narratives, familiar assumptions, and everyday language shape public understanding of the region. This talk invites audiences to question simplified explanations and think more critically about what they hear. With real-world implications - from public debate to economic ripple effects - getting the Middle East right is more important than it seems.
