Professor @LeilaTayeb was intrigued by the field of performance studies and interested in dancing herself when she decided to look at the cultural politics of belly dancing as part of her post-graduate research. Tayeb is among eight faculty joining @NUQatar this fall.

“Another time, in the summer of 2014, during a siege of the capital by forces from Misurata, I crossed daily into the ‘red zone’ even as shells fell in the distance, just to watch films with a friend. It seemed somehow more normal than staying at home.”

NEW: Reflecting on 10 years of the Libya revolution, @naasius writes about the time he almost died and what living in a state of instability does to your mind | @newlinesmag https://t.co/xd11GYb76z

[New Lines Magazine @newlinesmag]

NEW: From camels to belly dancers to one iconic “Brother Leader,” none of the films that feature Libya reflect the complex, beautiful country I call home, writes @naasius for @newlinesmag. https://t.co/nlwzMPM4x8

[Afifa @BentIfriqiya]

Happy that I contributed to this rich @POMEPS issue on “Racial Formation in Africa and the Middle East”, where I tried to briefly talk about the different modes of enunciating blackness in Tunisia, the material realities they reflect and the histories they invoke and/or distort…

Just found out I’m 0.7% European. Anyone know of fun European activities I could do to reconnect with my culture?

The most ignorant and dangerous responses to #Tunisia’s July 25 events came from Western-based pundits, think-tankers, and self-styled “progressive” US politicians.

[Rayya El Zein @rayelz]

Finally, @LeilaTayeb asks: what do formations of whiteness do and enable North Africa? She draws attention to the ways in which Blackness has been constructed as foreign to N Africa, a reality that prevents understanding racialization as ongoing processes https://t.co/HfjvzQyyrV

@LWyrtzen Looking forward to reading your article!!

The fact that @Dabaibahamid didn’t even feel the need to pay lip service to gender equality shows how comfortable the patriarchy is in the status quo. We now must hold him #accountable for his undertaking in the interview process to apply a 30% quote for women in his cabinet.
