In this episode, Dr. Raed Rafei tells us about how his experiences as a filmmaker and journalist have impacted his scholarship and vis versa. In the podcast, we speak about his work in Lebanon, his PhD journey in the U.S. and the ways in which these myriad life experiences shape the directions which our scholarship takes. More specifically, Dr. Rafei shares with us interesting lens from which to think through queerness and upheaval in Lebanon and the MENA region more widely through film, and well as what the region itself can teach us about queerness.
