EP 20 - Zaynab El Bernoussi: Dignity in the Egyptian Revolution

Dr. Zaynab El Bernoussi is an assistant professor of International Politics at Sciences Po Rabat, International University of Rabat.  El Bernoussi’s most recent publication and first book, “Dignity in the Egyptian Revolution: Protest and Demand During the Arab Uprisings,” (Cambridge University Press 2021) explores the concept of Dignity (or Karama in Arabic) in the context of the Egyptian Revolution (#Jan25). Based on interviews with participants in the 2011 protests and analysis of the art forms that emerged during protests, Zaynab El Bernoussi explores understandings of the concept of dignity, showing how protestors conceived of this concept in their organisation of protest and uprising, and their memories of karama in the aftermath of the protests, revisiting these claims in the years subsequent to the uprising.  Dr. El Bernoussi’s book: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/dignity-in-the-egyptian-revolution/E66234FA0A694166A7FEC7EF62582A15  Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1asKdPfMInA Reach out!
