    Author and anthropologist Dr. Susan Pattie, director of the Armenian
    Institute in London and Senior Research Fellow, University College
    London, will give a lecture titled "Who Are the Armenians? Bringing
    Armenian History and Culture to Young Readers" on Thursday, June 2, at
    8 p.m., at the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research
    (NAASR).

    While in the area, Pattie will also speak to fourth graders at St.

    Stephen's Armenian Elementary School in Watertown about her book by
    the same name, The Armenian Mirror-Spectator reported.

    Who Are the Armenians? is for both children and adults to learn about
    the Armenian people. Aimed at children aged 5-12, the book brings the
    3,000-year-old Armenian history and culture to life through folktales,
    language, food, religion, music, dance, art, poetry, sports and games.

    The book includes information about the Republic of Armenia and also
    explains how Armenians have made homes all over the world. Who are
    the Armenians? presents the lives of children in Armenia and diaspora
    countries showing how they live today. A CD is included with songs,
    poems, dance music and spoken words. (The book Who Are the Armenians?

    has no connection with the still-existing permanent and traveling
    exhibitions of the same name created earlier by the Armenian Library
    and Museum of America in Watertown.)

    Pattie teaches for the Syracuse University London Program and is
    director of the Armenian Institute. She was a visiting scholar in
    the Armenian Studies Program and Anthropology Department at the
    University of Michigan in autumn 2009. Author of Faith in History:
    Armenians Rebuilding Community (Smithsonian Institution Press) and
    numerous other publications, Dr. Pattie's research has focused on
    Armenians in diaspora, beginning with fieldwork in Cyprus.
