We got a new podcast! We're happy to announce that Syria: The Inconvenient Revolution (STIR) is now out on Patreon and wherever you listen to podcasts.

In this episode,⁠ ⁠Leila Al-Shami⁠⁠ (⁠⁠Burning Country⁠⁠) and Elia Ayoub (⁠⁠The Fire These Times⁠⁠,⁠ ⁠Hauntologies⁠⁠) introduce themselves and the podcast.

What is STIR about? From the Assad regime to the Arab Spring and beyond, we will dive into questions of reconstruction, prisoners, the forcibly disappeared, transitional justice, minority rights, women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, environmental politics, culture and more.
