A few weeks ago, I attended part of the Barnard Center for Research on Women’s 40th Anniversary Conference entitled Activism and the Academy.  The session I went to was “Building and Rebuilding Societies in Africa.”  Among the panelists was Rabab El Mahdi who spoke about the frustrations of being held up as the face of the Egyptian Revolution.  You can watch it here and be sure to check out other cool events at the BCRW.
