No summer plans yet? Join us at the 4th edition of the Barcelona Summer School of the Mediterranean and the Middle East—an unmissable gathering of brilliant minds. There’s so much I could say. But I’ll let the famous Chinese poet Bei Dao speak for me: “The dark night gave me dark eyes, but I use them to seek the light.” This is not just a school. It’s a refusal to surrender. Let’s seek the light—together. See quoted tweet for more information.
