Zeina Azzam Seikaly Introduction
As Director of Educational Outreach at the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies, Georgetown University, I manage a program that supports and strengthens the teaching of K-12 educators about the Arab world and Islam. I have been in this position at Georgetown since 1994. I hold an M.A. in Sociology from George Mason University and a B.A. in Psychology from Vassar College. I am a native Arabic speaker (my family is Palestinian; we immigrated to the U.S. from Lebanon when I was 10) and have studied French and Spanish. In addition to languages, my interests include reading, cooking and baking, traveling and learning about other cultures, dabbling in poetry, and taking in artistic exhibits and musical performances (especially Arabic music and jazz). I am married and have two children: Lena (22) and Mark (18).
