Gelvin, Chair This dissertation explores the transnational dimensions of the Syrian Revolt of 1925-1927. By including the activities of Syrian migrants in Egypt, Europe and the Americas, this study moves away from state-centric histories of the anti-French rebellion. Though they lived far away from the battlefields of Syria and Lebanon, migrants championed, contested, debated, and imagined the rebellion from all corners of the mahjar (or diaspora). Skeptics and supporters organized petition campaigns, solicited financial aid for rebels and civilians alike, and partook in various meetings and conferences abroad. Syrians abroad also clandestinely coordinated with rebel leaders for the transfer of weapons and funds, as well as offered strategic advice based on the political climates in Paris and Geneva. Moreover, key émigré figures played a significant role in defining the revolt, determining its goals, and formulating its program. By situating the revolt in the broader internationalism of the 1920s, this study brings to life the hitherto neglected role migrants played in bridging the local and global, the national and international.

ZooKeys 960: 79–123. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.960.50186 Abstract The occurrence of histerids in Lebanon has received little specific attention. Hence, an aim to enrich the knowledge of this coleopteran family through a survey across different Lebanese regions in this work. Sev- enteen species belonging to the genera Atholus Thomson, 1859,Hemisaprinus Kryzhanovskij, 1976, Hister Linnaeus, 1758, Hypocacculus Bickhardt, 1914, Margarinotus Marseul, 1853, Saprinus Erichson, 1834, Tribalus Erichson, 1834, and Xenonychus Wollaston, 1864 were recorded. Specimens were sampled mainly with pitfall traps baited with ephemeral materials like pig dung, decayed fish, and pig carcasses. Several species were collected by sifting soil detritus, sand cascading, and other specialized techniques. Six newly recorded species for the Lebanese fauna are the necrophilous Hister sepulchralis Erichson, 1834, Hemisap- rinus subvirescens (Ménétriés, 1832), Saprinus (Saprinus) externus (Fischer von Waldheim, 1823), Saprinus (Saprinus) figuratus Marseul, 1855, and Saprinus (Saprinus) niger (Motschulsky, 1849) all associated with rotting fish and dung, and the psammophilousXenonychus tridens (Jacquelin du Val, 1853).

  • Gender, Security and SSR in Lebanon | Background Paper 1
    Gender, security and SSR in Lebanon | Background paper 1 BACKGROUND PAPER | NOVEMBER 2014 GENDER, SECURITY AND SSR IN LEBANON By Lana Khattab and Henri Myrttinen SUMMARY This report examines the role of gender in Lebanese security perceptions, Lebanese perceptions of security institutions, as well as gender dynamics within security institutions. Using gender as a category of analysis allows for a deeper understanding of broader security perceptions, including of those related to the Syrian refugee crisis, to vulnerability and domestic violence, but also points to areas for further research areas, such as male vulnerabilities, addressing sexual and gender-based violence and concerns over environmental degradation. Lebanese gendered perceptions of security institutions include confessional and political power structures comprising mostly male- dominated patronage networks, and a ‘masculine’ public image, which is reflected in perceived behaviours and responses. Gender dynamics play a role in defining how Lebanese security institutions act and react to different security-relevant situations, but also directly affect working conditions within the institutions. INTRODUCTION Based on a review of the material produced as Halba part of the broader project as well as additional Tripoli research, this report examines some of the ways in NORTH which security issues in Lebanon are gendered. For LEBANON this report, we reviewed the material collected on BEQAA perceptions of security in general and perceptions of Byblos security sector institutions (SSIs) using a gender lens – that is, examining how and if being a woman or Baalbek a man, together with other social identity markers Beirut such as age, class and place of residence, played a Zahlé role.
