The lecture, sponsored by the APSU Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society, will focus on Frentzos’ experiences this summer when he spent 10 days in Israel as part of a counterterrorism fellowship.

During his visit, the APSU professor met convicted terrorists, attended lectures by Israeli defense officials and visited undercover police units in undisclosed locations.

He watched officers conduct a live ammo demonstration and learned how the Israelis prefer coercion to torture in gathering information.

He also witnessed a simulated operation in which undercover officers would infiltrate an Arab neighborhood and then snatch-and-grab a suspected terrorist.

Dr. Christos Frentzos

“This fellowship provided a fantastic opportunity for me to really get my feet wet and learn first hand what a democracy, Israel, is doing to combat terrorism,” Frentzos said in June. “When you’re a democracy there’s a very difficult path to try and go after people who are using insurgency and terrorism. They don’t play by the rules, yet as a democracy that follows the rule of law, you are expected to follow these rules. It’s very difficult.”

The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the APSU Department of History at 931-221-7919.

At 5:00pm on September 28th, the Japanese Consulate in Nashville will host a music and dance performance by the group Global Culture Nasu in the campus’ Music/Mass Communication Building Concert Hall.

“The performers will be in full blown kimonos and playing traditional Japanese instruments,” Dr. David Nelson, assistant professor of history and Asian studies at APSU, said.

Then on October 29th, from 2:00pm-4:00pm, the famed sushi chef Yanagihara Masahiko will stop by the Morgan University Center, room 303/305, for a presentation on Japanese cuisine.

“He’s the owner of a Tokyo restaurant, and he’s traveling to several cities in the United States,” Nelson said. “He’ll be doing a demonstration of preparing Japanese cuisine using local ingredients, with limited samples for the audience.”

Chartwells, APSU’s dinning services contractor, is generously providing kitchen space for the chef. The demonstration is funded by the Japanese Foundation, a large organization in Japan that promotes Japanese culture abroad.
