• How did the Arab uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and elsewhere unfold in 2011? 
• What similarities and differences were there between protestors’ grievances and strategies across the region? 
• How can an understanding of regional and international politics help explain the origins and fortunes of the uprisings?

On Campus Masterclasses are subject based and are three hours long. They consist of a topic based lecture and interactive activity, led by a SOAS academic. There is also a campus tour and a workshop on Higher Education led by Student Ambassadors.
