Social Movements and Popular Mobilisation in the MENA
Building on the online network, the Centre organised regular discussion-based seminars inviting academics to present their work. Papers were circulated in advance and briefly presented at the start, followed by questions and comments from the audience. The seminar series is no longer running as of 2021.
