Beirut, Lebanon: 

The American University of Beirut Issam Fares Institute Research and Policy Forum on Youth in the Arab World is organizing a lecture and open discussion with Assistant Professor Joe F. Khalil entitled "The Making and Unmaking of Uprisings: Reflections on Youth-Generated Media."

 

 

The lecture will take place at 6 pm on March 3, 2011 in College Hall, Auditorium B1.

 

 

Khalil is an Assistant Professor at Northwestern University in Qatar. He has more than fifteen years of professional television experience as a director, executive producer and consultant with major Arab satellite channels. Khalil’s scholarly interests revolve around Arab youth, alternative media and global media industries. As a recipient of a Smith Richardson Foundation grant, he authored a policy monograph on Arab satellite entertainment television and public diplomacy. He also co-authored Arab Television Industries (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009, with Marwan Kraidy), and is currently working on a book-project based on his dissertation, Youth-Generated Media in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, which examines alternative media cases in both countries.
