Pilgrimage to the Holy Lands turns on ritual <strong>imaginaries<\/strong> of space and time along with material sensations of mobility. In this forum, Prof. Heo will explore Coptic Orthodox traditions of travel and the Coptic politics of sharing saints with Roman Catholics and Arab Muslims. Focusing on the historical period of Arab nationalism in the 1960s, she will further examine how the geopolitics of war and anticolonial identity shaped the sacred geography of Egypt relative to Palestine, Israel, and Ethiopia. Ultimately, this forum\u2019s discussion will address critical intersections of holy boundaries and state borders, drawing together epistemologies of space with political questions of unity and difference.<\/li>\n<li>[<span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>MEETING WITH STUDENTS<\/strong><\/span>] As Visiting Fellow for the Connaught Initiative: Entangled Worlds, Prof. Heo is scheduled to visit Toronto in spring 2020 on these dates: <strong>January 27-31<\/strong>, <strong>March 17-25<\/strong>, <strong>April 14-17<\/strong>.
