> Aim
> 
> On the second anniversary of the “Arab Spring”, many challenges
> present themselves in transitioning countries, protests still continue
> in some countries, while new governments are being formed in others.
> Arguably, throughout these last two years, and before, Arab women
> played a critical and vital role in paving the way for the eruption of
> the “Arab Spring” movements: mobilizing their fellow citizens to take
> part in the revolts, documenting the unfolding events with their own
> cameras and cell phones, both as citizen journalists and professional
> reporters, and shaping public opinion about ongoing issues, changes,
> and challenges, through the extensive use of digital media, such as
> Twitter, Facebook, and blogs.
> 
> This is a call for papers, across disciplines, aiming for critical and
> evidence-based evaluations of the multiple roles played by Arab women
> in this changing region, both as senders and receivers of mediated
> messages, through the use of different types of media before, during,
> and beyond the Arab Spring, including both new, social media, as well
> as other media outlets, such as satellite television channels and the
> press. First-person and ethnographic accounts are welcomed, but
> CyberOrient accepts contributions from any field of study and using
> any methodological orientation.
> 
> About CyberOrient

> Eastern contexts.
