We are thrilled to announce that two activists, Kate Nelson and Inma Martin-Hernandez of Chainbreaker Collective will be joining WISC Fellow, Alon Raab, for a panel discussion on transit and social change in the Middle East and in Santa Fe.
About WISC Fellow Alon Raab
A cyclist since age three, Alon Raab is a writer, activist and teacher in the department of Religious Studies at University of California, Davis. His true religions are football (soccer) and bicycles - playing, riding, writing and dreaming about them. He will discuss how the bicycle has been a vehicle of modernity, social transformation, resistance and women’s independence in the Middle East. From bike-riding Turkish and Lebanese women in the 1920s to Cairo street murals depicting a child riding a bicycle in defiance of tanks. Bicycles have impacted political and social developments while also capturing the imagination of writers, artists and filmmakers.
