Daniel Osborn: Levantine Vignettes at The James Library & Center for the Arts
Thursday, February 26, 7 to 9 pm
The James Library & Center for the Arts, 24 West Street, Norwell
Admission: $20, adults, $10 students
In his new book Levantine Vignettes: An Educator’s Account of Border Crossing in the Middle East, historian, educator and Norwell resident Daniel Osborn shares his lifelong journey of discovery through travel, teaching, and immersion in communities across Israel, the Palestinian West Bank, Jordan, and Lebanon. From harvesting olives to herding livestock in the desert, Osborn’s experiences illuminate the transformative power of crossing borders, both literal and figurative, and cultivating compassion through lived knowledge.
A history educator, researcher, and nonprofit leader, Osborn is also the founder of Project Mosaics, an education nonprofit dedicated to exploring the diversity of Jewish identity and culture, and the host of the podcast Joy and Conversation. His work challenges dominant narratives and highlights the ways global experiences can deepen our understanding of culture, history, and humanity.
Join us for this special event as Daniel Osborn discusses his book, shares stories of life and learning in the Middle East and reflects on how educators and communities can build bridges across cultures.
