Revolutions in 2011: Democracies in the Arab WorldThursday, April 7, 7 PMGregory Hall R. 223 810 S. Wright Street (southwest corner of UIUC's main quad) Popular revolutions and movements for democratic change have been sweeping the Arab world, overthrowing U.S.-backed autocracies in Tunisia and Egypt, then spreading to Libya, Bahrain, Syria and Yemen. While each of these situations presents different challenges, they all have drawn inspiration from each other's struggles, and call for our keen attention and solidarity. Come hear from a panel of professors, students, and activists who will be discussing what is at stake in countries throughout the region. Then join us in a discussion about what this means for those of us who want to get involved in solidarity with these movements for liberation and democracy. Panelists include: *Farhad Malekafzali,Professor of Political Science *Abdelaadim Bidaoui,Graduate student in Linguistics *Mostafa Omar--Egyptian-American socialist and reporter on the Egyptian revolution, calling in via skype.  *Vukoni Lupa-Lusaga--Solidarity with Democratic Movements  Sponsored by Solidarity with Democratic Movements.
