Today a key question is this: What are the developments and implications of citizens’ social media use in Arab societies? Join DU assistant professor Soumia Bardhan for a thought-provoking lecture on how young women in Egypt and Tunisia use social media, especially Instagram, post-Arab Spring, to form identity and what the (micro)political potential of that might be.
