December 10: “Corporate Social Responsibility in the Middle East: Citizen Business Leaders”
One of the biggest crowds at this year’s World Economic Forum was on Middle East companies’ “corporate social responsibility.” Find out why from Barbara Ibrahim.
When: Wednesday December 10, 4:00 PM
Where: Lilly Auditorium, IUPUI University Library
Free and open to the public. From the Center on Philanthropy:
Barbara Ibrahim, Director of the John D. Gerhart Center for Philanthropy and Civic Engagement at American University in Cairo, will spend the fall semester with the Center on Philanthropy as a visiting scholar. An Indiana University alumna and former program officer with the Ford Foundation in Cairo, Ibrahim is an expert on international philanthropy, especially philanthropy in Arab nations, nations with strong Islamic communities, and diaspora philanthropy among Muslims in the United States and elsewhere. Part of a burgeoning collaboration between the Gerhart Center and the Center on Philanthropy - and American University in Cairo and Indiana University more broadly - Ibrahim’s visit this fall will include four public talks on various aspects of Arab philanthropy and civil society in the Middle East.
Why does Provocate think you should attend this event?
Perhaps by the fourth public talk by Barbara Ibrahim, it will be clear whether Arab philanthropy is good for the US or not. Provocate says “Good,” but keep an open mind.
