Professor Steven Livingston gave a lecture today at Addis Ababa University on technology and the Arab Spring.

He spoke about a chapter on which he and Professor Dave Karpf have collaborated for inclusion in a book on the Arab Spring. The students were assigned a draft copy of the chapter for their reading this week.

The professor of the class, Lucas Robinson, is a 2003 SMPA master's program graduate and is completing his PhD at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). His spouse is a British diplomat in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
