Dear students,
As announced, next week we will be hosting Benoît Challand, Professor of Sociology at the New School for Social Research, who will be presenting his latest book, Violence and Representation in the Arab Uprisings (Cambridge University Press, 2023): https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/violence-and-representation-in-the-arab-uprisings/violence-and-representation-in-the-arab-uprisings/323F03977A57867661EF229A6BBEE0C6.
I have uploaded a short text for you to read beforehand.
Benoît's presentation will take place from 14h to 16h. I expect you to actively participate in the Q&A session, rather than just passively listening to the presentation. A group of students will be asked to write a summary of the presentation and the subsequent discussion. Exceptionally, the course will end at 16h on that day.
Best wishes,
VB
