 As part of its '*Ask a Historian*' Lecture Series, CMES Tunisia presents a scholarly discussion with **Kmar Bendana**, Professor of History at the University of Manouba, on Abdelaziz Thaalbi's life, work and trial. This discussion will be moderated by **Laura Thompson**, PhD candidate at Harvard University. Questions will highlight less-known aspects of Thaalbi's political, intellectual and personal life: What do we know about the founder of the Destour Party (1920), today? How was this national figure peceived in post-Independance Tunisia and why did his image reemerge, to become iconic, in post-Revolution Tunisia? What are the reasons and circumstances behind his exiles and his trial? Why was Thaalbi sentenced to death after being accused of blasphemy in 1904?
