Prof. David Coury of Humanistic Studies and German presented a paper titled “Navid Kermani: Patriotism and the Nation” at the German Studies Association conference this month in Denver. His presentation focused on the writings of the German-Iranian Kermani and his views of Europe as a multiethnic society. Coury’s article “Enlightenment Fundamentalism: Zafer Şenocak, Navid Kermani, and Multiculturalism in Germany Today” will appear next month in Volume 7 of the Edinburgh German Yearbook, published by the University of Edinburgh.
