Abstract:
This thesis explores youth approaches to collaboration across social differences in
Tunisia’s civic communities. After Tunisia’s 2011 revolution, social, political, and
religious differences came to the fore of the new civic sphere. At the same time, the civic
sphere was given new legal freedoms, creating an explosion of civic associations, formal
and informal. This study explores if and how youth are collaborating across new
publically expressed social differences. This qualitative research project drew on
interviews conducted with youth, under the age of 35, during summer of 2015.
