Ann Kerr: The Gulf Culture

During the tumultuous years of Beirut's political strife in the 1980s, Malcolm Kerr, president of the American University of Beirut, was tragically assassinated after serving there seventeen months. On September 12, 2013 at Pepperdine University's Payson Library, his widow, Ann Kerr, spoke about her experiences in the Middle East, the impact of Islam on Lebanon's continuing struggles, and her book, Come with Me from Lebanon, a personal account of an American family during the Lebanese Civil War. Kerr currently serves as the coordinator of the Fulbright Visiting Scholar Enrichment Program at UCLA.
