Night School 2024: There You are | ‘Everyday Life in the Spectacular City’ by Dr. Rana Almutawa

Night School 2024 concluded this year by celebrating the arrival of Rana AlMutawa’s much-anticipated book 'Everyday Life in the Spectacular City: Making Home in Dubai'
Dr. Almutawa gives shape to her book by means of the urban ethnographer’s skillset, and ultimately through a patient resolve to listen and look. In conversation with Dr. Neha Vora, Almutawa discusses how academic rigor can challenge and counteract misinformed clichés about the city of Dubai.
