While the Arab Spring is far from over, as the uprisings in Sudan, Algeria, Iraq, and
Lebanon have shown, both activists and researchers would agree that much has changed
since the Arab Spring began in 2011. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region
has witnessed far-reaching transformations over the last 10 years when it comes to
socio-economic conditions, religion-state relations, and the agendas of international
organizations operating in the region.

Join CERC Migration, the GREASE Project, and the University of Bristol as they cohost
a panel of experts who will discuss what has changed since the eruption of the 2011 uprisings
and how these transformations are likely to impact future political change in the MENA region.
