Renowned scholar and author Dr Heba Raouf Ezzat (pictured), will speak about transformations of power and politics in a post-nation age at an upcoming lecture at Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q) today. The event, which will be held at 6pm at the University’s Education City campus, is open to the public and will be conducted in Arabic.
Ezzat is a lecturer of political theory at Cairo University and a visiting fellow at the Civil Society and Human Security Research Unit at the London School of Economics. Her talk at GU-Q will focus on the shifting political situation in the Arab world, touching on the increasing role of tribes and the need to rethink maps of power.
“This lecture will attempt to portray and discuss the major issues and problems we are facing, with special reference to the Arab scene and the way political scientists have been approaching the political events in the region and globally,” said Ezzat. Ezzat is the co-founder and coordinator of the Diploma in Public Policy and Child Rights, a joint project between higher education institutes in Egypt, Jordan, and the European Union.
