  sphere as an important channel for social and political mediation. In this
  talk\, Nahid will examine the role of music in the poetic creation of alte

 ngs as well as their cooptations\, and the impact of social media – and the
  securitization of online spaces – on these processes.</p><p><strong>Nahid
