About the speaker:
Ziad Fahmy is Associate Professor of Modern Middle East History at Cornell University. He is the author of Ordinary Egyptians: Creating the Modern National through Popular Culture (Stanford, 2011).

About the event:
Dr. Fahmy will be joining us to discuss his prize-winning monograph, "Street Sounds: Listening to Everyday Life in Modern Egypt." Using infrastructural, cultural, and social history, Fahmy analyzes the sounds of modernity and uses sounded sources as an analytical tool for examining the past. "Street Sounds" also reveals a political dimension of noise and contextualizes sound, bringing us closer to the Egyptian streets as lived and embodied by everyday people.

*The first 20 registered attendees who attend the event in-person will receive a free copy of "Street Sounds."
