Research, ideas, and leadership for a more secure, peaceful world
A book talk with Shereen El Feki.
SHEREEN EL FEKI is a writer, broadcaster, and academic who started her professional life in medical science before going on to become an award-winning journalist for The Economist and a presenter at Al Jazeera English. She is former vice-chair of the UN's Global Commission on HIV and Law, and a TED Global Fellow. She divides her time between London and Cairo.
Her newly released book, Sex and the Citadel, is a fascinating, groundbreaking look at changing sexual attitudes and behaviour in the Arab world, and their part in 2011's popular revolts.
Hilary Rantisi will serve as interlocutor. Rantisi is Director of the Middle East Initiative at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School.
