This 5-year PhD journey has come to an end! It’s been wild.

For those interested, I've been working on the appeals and perils of deeply entrenched and seemingly 'friendly' clientelist systems in Lebanon.

As an anthropologist, this meant moving to Tripoli for fieldwork.

What knowledge is rechannelled into new forms of critique, solidarity, and creative expression, and what knowledge is left behind? And finally, how can we develop methodological tools to capture this transformation? Apply here: https://t.co/kMqx61rYKj

How do prior activist experiences translate into new political, social, and artistic forms of life abroad? How do processes of racialization shape these activists’ sense of self and possibilities for future engagement? If not, why?

@al_horalistani @MidEastCritique Excellent! Can't wait to read it

Thoughtful points on how Syrian labour in Lebanon both adjusts to and cushions our economic crisis

[Synaps @SynapsNetwork]

The presence in Lebanon of massive numbers of Syrians is less and less accepted. Yet they have also become ever more integral to the economy. As rightless informal workers, they have helped Lebanon stave off both collapse and reform 🧵

Intimate Allies: Familial Becoming in Beirut, a talk by Rabih Hajaig
Be many!🌈

[Claudia Gazzini @ClaudiaGazzini]

A Derna resident, who lost seven family members in the flood, tells me there are 15 people buried under the ruble of this building. ‘They are still under here’ he says. According to local health ministry 16,000 people are still missing, +3,000 dead. #Derna #Libya @crisisgroup.

[Tim Eaton @el_khawaga]

Unspeakable tragedy in Derna, eastern Libya. Unconfirmed estimates of 2000 dead. For context, the no. of dead from 2019-20 in Libya (amid Tripoli war) was recorded at 2,475 (UCDP). The indirect effects of governance dysfunction - here thru failing infrastructure - are also deadly
