Dis-Orienting Media: The Creative Vision of Arab American Cultural Production

In the years since 9/11, the Middle East has been an outsize presence in American society, a source of geopolitical tensions but also cultural fascination. Yet despite this influence and interest, Arab American media production and media cultures remain vastly understudied.

On June 12th, join Film Quarterly for a webinar exploring the cultural histories, formal innovations, and political interventions of Arab media in the US. FQ columnist and contributing editor Ramzi Fawaz (University of Wisconsin) moderates a discussion with scholar, writer, and journalist Maytha Alhassen (co-executive producer, Ramy), scholar and performer Thomas S. Dolan (ACLS Fellow, Emory University), and scholar, media maker, and archivist William Youmans (George Washington University). Introduced by FQ editor-in-chief Rebecca Prime.
