Скачать или смотреть Bringing the Social Sciences and Humanities into Public Dialogue in the Arab World w/ Seteney Shami

What choices would you make if your life was punctuated by a never-ending series of wars and conflicts?

My guest this week is an anthropologist who believes that the solutions to institutional and deeply-ingrained problems lie in the social sciences.

Tune in this week to discover the work Seteney Shami and the Arab Council for the Social Sciences are doing to bring academia and the humanities into the conversation around how to solve the challenges and crises the Arab world is facing.

• How activists are addressing conflict in the Arab world.
• Why Seteney believes focusing on the humanities, social sciences, and research will bring more inclusivity and better democracy to the Arab region.
• The neglect and marginalization of the humanities and other intellectual pursuits that have controlled and suppressed critical narratives.
• What drew Seteney toward the social sciences and humanities as a solution to world problems.
• Why the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon was the event that prompted Seteney to return to the region.
• What Seteney’s hopes for the future are in the region, and what bringing people together with academia at the forefront can create during this challenging time.
