About this Event
Mayssoun Sukarieh is Senior Lecturer at King’s College-London. Having received her PhD from University of California-Berkeley, her first book was Youth Rising: the Politics of Youth in the Global Economy. Maysson’s research interests engage broadly with social, economic and cultural transformations in relation to neoliberal development in the Middle East. Specifically, she focuses on analysing: the spatial flow of ideas between global centres of capital and power and the Arab region; labour and political economy, as well as the construction of neoliberal ideology and culture and the creation of neoliberal subjects; civil society struggles, geographies of collective resistance and social movements that seek to create alternative futures to the currently prevailing neoliberal model.
