INST 3580 - Arab Uprisings 5 credit hours
The wave of revolutionary uprisings in the Arab world collectively referred to as the “Arab Uprisings” were a surprise to many.

As violence continues in some areas and Islamist regimes take hold in others, many questions will follow. What will democracy look like there? What will happen to minorities in each state? Will women be equal participants in the public sphere? What roles will Turkey and Iran play in the region? And what role should the U.S. play? This course will interrogate these questions, among others. The class will delve into a brief history of each country and examine the circumstances that gave rise to the uprisings that began in 2010.

This course will use cultural sources to examine the way in which “East” and “West” have been imagined, encountered, represented, and defined over the past 900 years. Focusing mostly on the Middle East and Europe, we will look at discrete moments in history to interrogate the ways in which imagination and experience of the “other” have changed over time.
