TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 7 P.M. Author Shereen El Feki
The author discusses “Sex and the Citadel,” her book linking sexuality to political, economic, social and religious trends in the rapidly changing Arab World. “Sex might seem a strange lens through which to examine change, but it is a prism that refracts the region’s complex social spectrum, from religion and culture to politics and economics,” she writes. “Sexual attitudes and behaviors not only are a reflection of the conditions that led to the recent uprisings but will be a measure of the hard-won reforms in years to come.” El Feki is a writer, broadcaster and academic whose work has appeared in The Economist, Huffington Post and Prospect. She is vicechair of the U.N. Global Commission on HIV and Law. Global health consultant, activist and author Regan Hoffman (“I Have Something to Tell You”) will lead a Q&A session following El Feki’s reading. Community Room, Princeton Public Library
