On this episode of SEPADPod Simon speaks with Wendy Perlman, Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at NorthWestern University. Pearlman is the author of a great number of books and articles on the contemporary Middle East, focussing predominantly on Palestine, Syria and popular protest, most notably, We Crossed a Bridge and it Trembled: Voices from Syria (2017). On this episode Simon and Wendy talk about the role of agency in authoritarian structures, exploring Morocco, Palestine and Syria. Wendy's work is fantastic and over the course of the podcast she offers a fascinating insight into the issues that have driven her intellectual curiosity. Truly a must listen.
