SUMMARY:Global Conversations: The Rise of ISIS
DESCRIPTION:Born out of an umbrella organization of al-Qaeda in Iraq\, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) burst onto the international stage after it conquered Fallujah in December 2013. Since then\, the group has seized control of a number of critical strongholds in both countries and declared itself a caliphate. Still\, the question remains: what is ISIS\, and what danger does it present to today’s global community? \n\nMolly Hayes\, formerly with the U.S. Department of State\, will lead a discussion on these questions and more. \nMolly Hayes worked for the U.S. Department of State as an advisor on the Middle East\, and North Africa\, with an emphasis on counterterrorism and human rights issues. She served as the State Department’s counterterrorism advisor for East Africa; desk officer for Kenya\, Morocco\, Western Sahara\, Libya\, and Tunisia; and assistant to the Coordinator for Counterterrorism. She also served as deputy coordinator of the State Department’s Egypt Task Force during the 2011 Arab Spring. Molly holds a bachelor’s degree in English and Arabic from the University of Notre Dame and will pursue a mid-career policy degree at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs as a Thomas H. Swain Fellow. \nGlobal Conversations is brought to you in partnership with the Friends of the Minneapolis Central Library.

SUMMARY:Somalis in Minnesota: Enriching Our Culture\, Economy\, and Communities
DESCRIPTION:It’s estimated that more than 60\,000 Somalis live in Minnesota – the most of any state in the U.S. And since their arrival in 1993\, Somali immigrants have become an integral thread in the tapestry of Minnesota life. In partnership with the African Development Center\, Hennepin County Library – Minneapolis Central\, Isuroon\, Ka Joog\, and The Somali Museum of Minnesota\, we’ll take a look at the history and culture of Somalis in Minnesota\, as well as the economic\, political\, and cultural contributions they make to our state. \nAhmed Ismail Yusuf\, author of “Somalis in Minnesota\,” will guide us through the story of the state’s most recent immigrant group. Following his presentation\, a panel discussion will explore Somali success in education\, health care\, entrepreneurship\, and civic engagement\, as well as ongoing challenges faced by these new Minnesotans.
