PODCAST: Cynthia Myntti shares reflections on the first ten years of the @AUB_Lebanon Neighborhood Initiative. What is a univerity's role in the city and how can it engage with its local community in a contested area? #UrbanLabLectures https://t.co/zhF5NeVINw
The Neighborhood Initiative emerged in 2007 as a response to the perceived inward-looking shift AUB took during and after the Lebanese civil war, when the institution arguably turned its back on the very neighbourhood that grew up around it - Ras Beirut #UrbanLabLectures
Cynthia Myntti takes us through a quick history of the American University of Beirut (AUB). 9k students and 900 faculty across 120 programmes and 7 faculties. Beirut's largest private employer #UrbanLabLectures
