SEPADPod Roundtable Special: On Power Sharing & Protest

Richardson Institute

On this episode of SEPADPod Simon speaks with four wonderful scholars about power sharing and protest in Lebanon and Northern Ireland. With Simon are three SEPAD Fellows: Professor John Nagle, Dr Ibrahim Halawi, AK Ronn, and Dr Drew Mikhael, making his SEPAD debut. John is Professor of Sociology at Queen’s University Belfast, Ibrahim is Teaching Fellow in International Relations at Royal Holloway University, AK is a researcher at Aarhus University, and Drew is a Research Fellow at Queen’s University Belfast. On this episode, Simon, John, Ibrahim, AK and Drew discuss the recent elections in Lebanon and Northern Ireland, the emergence of non-sectarian blocs and parties, protest movements (or the lack thereof), structure-agency, and so much more. It’s a long one, but a good one!
