Invitation: International Online Conference “Facebook Revolutions? The Role of Social Media for Political Change in the Arab World” (September 19 to 30, 2011)
Nine months after the beginning of the “Arab Spring” this conference will take stock: What has been the role of the media – particularly the social media – in bringing down dictators in the Arab word? Do these media promote democracy, freedom of expression and free access to information? Or – as others have argued: Is the role of social media exaggerated?
We think it is appropriate to discuss these issues in the context of an international online conference and kindly invite you to join us. Among our resource persons will be bloggers from Egypt, Algeria, Bahrain, Jordan, Morocco and Syria as well as other international experts. The official languages will be English and German. Participation is FREE.
