Dr. Mona Harb, Professor of Urban Studies and Politics at the American University of Beirut and co-founder of the Beirut Urban Lab, will lecture on her current research about the role of activists in reshaping urban space and in oppositional politics. The lecture will draw on her research during and after Lebanon’s uprisings of 2019.
