SUMMARY:The Digital Double Bind: Politics\, Power and Platforms in the Midd
 le East
DESCRIPTION:Washington\, DC\n\nThe digital has emerged as a driving force o
 f change that is reshaping everyday life and affecting nearly every sphere
  of vital activity. Yet\, its impact has been far from uniform. Joe F. Kha
 lil\, a visiting scholar at GWU’s IPDGC\, explores the intricate relatio
 nship between technology and socio-political change in the Middle East. Pr
 oviding insights into the dynamics of change and stasis\, Khalil moves bey
 ond binary formulations to emphasize how the digital reshapes “the polit
 ical” and\, conversely\, how politics shapes the region's digital turn. 
 Introducing the concept of the “digital double bind\,” this talk offer
 s insights into the complexities\, contradictions\, and tensions character
 izing the Middle East’s engagement with the digital era. This talk is ba
 sed on his newly published book The Digital Double Bind (Oxford University
  Press)\, co-authored with Mohamed Zayani.
