Much of what is understood about Saudi Arabia is based on stereotypes depicting the country as homogenous. In reality, Saudi Arabia is a diverse and complex country faced with deepening social stratification. Saudi’s youth, which makes up over 30 percent of the population, has a significant role in voicing a vision for Saudi Arabia’s future. So, what is their role in driving social reforms and responses to prominent issues such as COVID-19? Join us for a discussion co-hosted with the Institute of Current World Affairs on Saudi youth’s aspirations and reasons for discontent on Wednesday, June 9 from 12:00 pm to 1:15 pm EDT, when we will be joined by David Kenner, ICWA Fellow and Former Middle East Editor of Foreign Policy Magazine. This conversation is moderated by Professor Dirk Vandewalle, Associate Professor of Government at Dartmouth College.---This Virtual Briefing Series event was originally hosted on June 9th, 2021.Music by Joseph McDade.Upcoming events: https://network2020.org/upcoming-events/Follow us at:Twitter: @Network2020LinkedIn: Network 20/20Facebook: @network2020Instagram: @network_2020
