SUMMARY:CSDE Seminar - Civilizing Contention: International Aid in Syria’s War  - In Person and Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rana Khoury\, Assistant Professor of Political Science & Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies\, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign \nAbstract: In Civilizing Contention\, Rana B. Khoury asserts that to understand civilian and refugee activism in war\, we must regard the international actors and organizations that enter the scene to help. When these organizations respond to crises\, they work with local actors. In so doing\, they facilitate the activists’ participation in something like a civil society even in the depths of war. Yet as aid imposes its structures and routines\, it also leaves activists unprotected from the violence of war and its aftermaths. \nKhoury pursues these ideas through analysis of Syria’s war that emerged from the 2011 Arab Uprisings. She traces the afterlife of a social movement that did not merely take up arms or capitulate to repression. Interviews with Syrian activists and international aid workers in Jordan\, Turkey\, and Lebanon provide insight into action among actors in the war\, while original social-media data offers additional evidence. Civilizing Contention deepens knowledge of civilian and refugee agency by explaining how ordinary people act in extraordinary ways in a world structured by powerful forces. \nBio: Rana B. Khoury is an assistant professor of political science at Illinois. Previously\, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance at Princeton University. She received her Ph.D. in political science from Northwestern University and M.A. in Arab Studies from Georgetown University. Rana’s research interests include contention\, displacement\, and humanitarianism in the Middle East\, as well as qualitative and multi-method research. Her research has been published in Perspectives on\nPolitics\, World Development\, Middle East Law and Governance\, and Forced Migration Review. Her book\, Civilizing Contention: International Aid in Syria’s War is forthcoming with Cornell University Press. \nParrington Hall – Rm 360 \nVirtual Link: https://washington.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1Ij7h6opR1mdgyO7C0IUzQ#/registration
