FYS 1275 - Breaking Barriers: Pop Culture in the Arab World

Credits: 4
Students will explore how social media revolutionized communication in the Arab world and fueled a social justice movement that challenged the fabric of society and produced a vibrant space for artists and creators across industries. From the first openly LGBTQ musician in the Arab world, to the comedian who was imprisoned for speaking out against an authoritative regime - pop culture pioneers are redefining political protest and leading a movement that is making waves in the Arab world and beyond.
