“Tracing Everyday Upheavals in the Middle East” is a multi-campus project that departs from grand totalizing narratives of upheaval by unearthing intimate histories, complex presents, and imagined futures from across the Middle East. Our main research question is: What are the different stories and narratives of upheaval that we can derive from everyday life?

This episode features a conversation between nine UC graduate students: Gehad Abaza, Banan Abdelrahman, Ingy Higazy, Mary Michael, Aida Mukharesh, Lalu Esra Ozban, Raed El Rafei, Salma Shash, Yasemin Taskin-Alp.
