Extra event – Discipline: Randa Abdel-Fattah in Conversation

Randa Abdel‑Fattah’s recent novel Discipline follows the intersecting lives of Hannah, a young Muslim newspaper journalist, and Ashraf, an academic. It is a timely exploration of truth and power.  Dr Abdel-Fattah reflects on the role of fiction in challenging injustice and offers insight into her writing process and the urgent themes shaping her work. Hosted by Danielle Binks.
