The Pixelated Revolution exhibition acts as a catalyst for further debate and conversation. We bring together two expert speakers to discuss the Arab Spring and its impact in the Middle East.
Gilbert Achcar, Professor of Development Studies and International Relations at SOAS University, will talk about the Arab Spring and its continuing impact across the Middle East, including Palestine. Professor Achcar will be joined by Shimaa Hatab, a doctoral candidate in the Government Department at the University of Essex, who will talk on the Arab Spring with specific reference to Syria.
This event has been organised in collaboration with the University of Essex Students’ Union Palestinian Solidarity Society.
