This year, Eid carries a different weight across our region. Even so, we are reminded—often in quiet ways—that community endures. As we complete our semester remotely, we remain deeply connected. Wishing you peace, warmth, and light. Eid Mubarak.

It was fabulous to host Tarek El-Ariss @nuqatar.bsky.social to discuss his acclaimed book Water on Fire, an evocative & insightful memoir about war, trauma & desire. He discussed his journey from academic to personal writing, the sea as liberation & threat & the obsessions that make us human.
