ARAB-BASED SCHOLARLY INVESTIGATION
This conference forges a space for Arab-based scholarly investigation of the Arab Spring and its aftermath. Conference outcomes will be disseminated through partner institutions in Canada (University of Guelph), Germany (CNMS, Marburg University), and Qatar (Doha Institute for Graduate Studies and Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies). Our anticipated research outcomes will not only translate the views of prominent academics and writers from three continents but also contextualize them for western academic audiences.
Subsequently, the European and North American academic community will be able to move beyond grand theories or idealistic notions about the Arab Spring. This work will expose these communities to the practical experiences of eyewitnesses, and thereby share a practical knowledge and understanding of the Arab Spring.
This transnational collaboration intends to provide researchers in Arab and Western universities with the needed resources to share their intellectual contributions and engage western academia in an enriching conversation about the Arab Spring The conference initiates inquiry that will culminate in a co-edited book project by Drs. Eid Mohamed and Dalia Fahmy.
