After 13 years of violent civil war in Syria, Hayʾat Tahrir al-Sham overthrew Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. But what will happen next? What can history teach us? Which narrative and vision will win? And where is Syria headed?

Come and hear three experts give their take:

• Mark Sedgwick: Arabiske og Islamiske Studier, AU. "Stabilitet i Syrien: Et historisk perspektiv." / (Arab and Islamic Studies, AU), “Stability in Syria: A Historical Perspective.”
• Christine Crone: Tværkulturelle og Regionale Studier, KU. "Den (fortsatte) kamp om fortællingen: Syriske kulturelle produktioner før og efter Assads fald" / (Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, UC), “The (Continuing) Struggle for Narrative: Syrian Cultural Productions before and after the Fall of Assad.”
• Morten Valbjørn: Institut for Statskundskab, AU. "Transition uden teleologi: Syrien efter Assad." / (Department of Political Science, AU), “Transition without teleology: Syria after Assad.”

The event will be held in English. Registration is not required.
