Ms. Monroe’s dissertation project, situated among anthropological studies of urban space and political economy, examines how Lebanese citizenship is being configured in the post-Civil War period. By considering the role of physical space in the construction of identities and experiences, her dissertation investigates how Lebanese citizenship is constituted through social relations of power amid Beirut’s urban terrain.
