with Charis Boutieri and Franziska Fay

How are youth in North Africa faring in the ‘aftermath’ of academic, policy, and media hype that followed 2011? That is to say – from the perspective of the youth themselves – what, if any, has been the impact on their lives of the ebb and flow of post-Arab spring international and regional attention from academic, governance and development actors? 

A dynamic round-table discussion, in which the guest speakers reflected on some of the mundane, structural, and enduring ways in which the struggles faced by youth in these locales remain unaffected by such moments of rupture and upheaval.
