ONLINE Webinar: "Civil Society in Algeria: The
Hirak, Non-violence and Youth Activism for Democracy" by Jessica Ayesha
Northey, London Middle East Institute, 27 October 2020, 5:30 - 7:00 pm
On 22 February 2019, Algeria
saw the emergence of a peaceful movement for democracy, which brought ordinary
people to the streets on an unprecedented scale. Known as the hirak, weekly
marches of millions led to President Bouteflika standing down. How
did Algerians take on such a powerful regime, without violence, despite deep
frustrations and a history of violent political change? What are the
implications for future democratic reform, civil society and citizenship and
how do young people imagine the future of a new Algeria?

ONLINE Seminar: "Planning Beirut for the War Yet
to Come", by Hiba Bou Akar, Brandeis University, 4 November 2020, 11:00
am, Eastern Time
The scholar examines three
locales in the city's southeastern periphery, revealing how urban planning
followed a logic of "the war yet to come" by playing on fears and
differences, rumors of war, and paramilitary strategies to organize everyday
life. These areas have been developed into frontiers of a continuing sectarian
order, in which neighborhoods reproduce poverty, displacement, and urban
violence.
