CivilSociety&Activism-in MENA
Welcome to ARLA 8410 A, Civil Society and Activism in the MENA Region!
In the post-World War I era, the Arab world has experienced widespread and profound changes propelled by interrelated political, economic, societal/cultural and environmental events and processes.
Throughout this period, numerous activist movements have emerged: pushing forth social agendas,
demanding freedom and equality, toppling repressive regimes, and responding to a range of crises and conflicts. From issues of anti-colonialism, Arab nationalism and the Arab Spring to gender rights and globalization, activists have played a critical role in shaping the contemporary Arab world.
ARLA 8410 A offers analytical tools with which students can question, unpack and analyze the contexts for specific grassroots activist movements, the issues addressed, end goals, strategies employed and outcomes achieved.
