ABOUT
Sabiha Allouche is a third year PhD candidate in Gender Studies at the Centre for Gender Studies at SOAS, University of London, from where she obtained her MA in Gender Studies (2012). Her current research examines the emergence of ‘dissident bodies’ in Lebanon whose alternative mode of activism, highly individual and communal based, upholds the sexual component of democracy. Their politics invite us to adopt sexuality as an everyday resistance tool, rather than meta-narratives of political rights, when measuring democratic processes of freedom of speech or expression.
