The Arab Spring & The Tunisian Revolution: A look from the inside
Wael Zammit, Fulbright Scholar
Tuesday, October 25, 5:00-6:00 pm, Randall Library Rm. 2047
Listen to Wael Zammit discuss the Arab Spring in Tunisia. Eleven years ago, Tunisians took to the streets, ousted a dictator and announced the beginning of what became known as the “Arab Spring”; a series of revolutions across the Arab world, from Libya to Egypt, and from Syria to Yemen.
While the aforementioned states witnessed political instability, institutional dysfunction, economic problems and terrorism, Tunisia has always been presented as “the successful model”. But, is it? To what extent has the Tunisian revolution fulfilled its promises? What’s happening in Tunisia?

Dr. Heide Castañeda Presents
Borders of Belonging: Struggle and Solidarity in Mixed-Status Immigrant Families
Tuesday October 4th 5:00 pm Morton 100 Bryan Auditorium
A public talk by Dr. Heide Castañeda, Professor of Anthropology University of South Florida
Sponsored by the Anthropology Department, the International Studies Department, the Centro Hispano, and the School of Health and Applied Human Sciences
Immigration policies and practices in the United States impact not only on undocumented migrants, but also on their family members, some of whom are citizens or legal residents. This results in the stratification of particular family members' access to resources like health care, education, and employment. In addition to creating and reinforcing inequalities, this also results in resilience, resistance, and solidarity between parents and children, siblings, and other kin.
