Lecture
 "Pakistan's Northwest Frontier - the Most Dangerous Place on Earth"
 Lecture by Dr. Sameetah Agha

 Reception presented by McNeese Honor's College

 Mon, Apr 12, 2010 7 pm
Parra Ballroom
Lake Charles, LA

Dr. Sameetah Agha is an Associate Professor of History at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. Agha will concentrate on Pakistan (a topic which has been requested by a number of Banners Series members). Her area of expertise is the volatile northwest frontier. The Northwest territory, a semi-autonomous mountainous tribal area of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan, gained international attention after 9/11 and was recently described by US officials as “the most dangerous place on earth.”
