In "My Egypt Archive", Alan Mikhail provides an on-the-ground account of the everyday authoritarianism that produced the Arab Spring in Egypt. Here, Mikhail talks to us about his continued interest in the history of bureaucracies and the importance of sound in the archive.

#Introduction!

Hi, I'm a #historian and #arthistorian, focusing on all things #WomenArtists, #womeninhistory, and #genderpolitics today. My first book, A Revolution on Canvas: The Rise of Women Artists in Britain and France, 1760-1830, came out earlier this year with #ThePaulMellonCentre and #YaleUniversityPress. I'm now working on my second book, a broader story of women artists in western history, under contract with #Doubleday (US) and #Viking (UK). /
