#Book Talks

In our latest book talk with historian Andrew Orr, we explore the story of an elaborate internet hoax surrounding the (fictional) life of a Syrian-American lesbian woman during the Arab spring. Why were educated and politically engaged westerners so susceptible to believing it?

In our latest book talk we explore questions of precarity in European cinema. What exactly does precarity mean? Is class still a relevant issue today? And can we identify common themes in films selected from across Europe? To find out, we sat down with the three editors of “Precarity in European Film.”
