This week, 55 faculty, staff, students, alumni & partners @nuqatar.bsky.social at #WebSummitQatar2026 engaged a global audience in conversations rigorous and generous that reflect what we do best: advancing knowledge, nurturing talent, and shaping ideas that matter. #NUQProud

Earlier today, #IAS_NUQ Faculty Advisor @heatherjaber.bsky.social chaired the panel "Online Spaces as Contemporary Cultural Playgrounds" at #IAMCR2025.

And with that, we wrap up our third and final conference of the summer! From ACSS to ICA to IAMCR, it’s been an inspiring season of critical conversations, global connections, and powerful storytelling from and about the Global South. Stay tuned for highlights!
