(VIDEO) Panel Discussion at Brown University - "Poetic Forces: Creative Change in and Beyond the Arab Spring"

In March 2013, I sat on a panel at Brown University to discuss the causes and ramifications of the use of Hip Hop as a revolutionary tool during the Arab Spring uprisings.

Participants on the panel include:

  • Egyptian rapper and Arab Spring participant, Deeb
  • Nancy Khalek, Religious Studies at Brown
  • Elias Muhanna, Middle Eastern Studies and Comparative Literature at Brown

Special thanks to Tricia Rose, Cogut Center and Africana Studies at Brown, for coordinating and moderating the event.
