The 2007 James Lecture will be delivered by Ghassan Hage, Visiting Associate Professor of World Religions and CSWR Research Associate.

Ghassan Hage teaches and researchs in the areas of globalisation, migration, nationalism, racism and multiculturalism from a comparative perspective. His teaching and research emphasises the importance of anthropology as a fieldwork based discipline which nonetheless deals with general philosophical questions about humans and their cultures. He is currently researching the transformation of political emotions in the process of migration and their role in the integration of Muslim Lebanese migrants in French, American and Australian societies.  (from The University of Sydney website)
