On Friday, April 13, 2012, CyberDissidents.org co-founder David Keyes, Iranian Programs Coordinator Solmaz Sharif, and Arabic Programs Coordinator Ahed Al Hendi will participate in the “Revolution: People, Poltiics, and Change” conference hosted by the NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service.

IPSA’s 2012 conference will explore the recent events in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, as well as other citizen-led political movements past and present, to better understand the commonalities and differences in successful and attempted large-scale change. Varying perspectives and topics, such as women and the MENA movements, the role of social media in change, and developing movements in Latin America and Asia will be presented in the day's events.

The conference will also feature an original photography exhibit, "A Place Called Tahrir," by Sabelo Narasimhan, MPA Candidate 2012 at NYU Wagner.
