Final Reflection

This class has really opened my mind to a lot of different things. One: I hate block classes. But in all honesty, I do feel like I learned a lot from the course. The idea of Orientalism is something I would love to study further at AU as well as the process of developing successful civil society and its effects on revolutions and mobilization. I definitely want to continue in the area of study for my major and this class really help give me a sense of where I'd like to see my career go. I think with a little organization, this class will be even more successful for the students who take it next semester. But as it stands, I did enjoy the class and felt like I learned a lot.

  1. I completely agree. I feel as though this class opened many doors for me and my studies in the Middle East. When thinking about the conflicts in the Middle East before coming to American, I had not thought of the many social movements within the region- now every time I hear about something on the news I also think of civil society actors fighting for their views on how to shape society.
