Walid Hedari

Walid Hedari is a researcher specializing in songs related to the Lebanese Civil War. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Alicante in Spain. Born in Lebanon at the tail end of the civil war, and having studied music at the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK), he has long nurtured a deep interest in history, politics, and music. The idea of exploring history and politics through the lens of song emerged while he was completing his master’s degree. Although conducting such research in Lebanon would have presented significant challenges, pursuing his studies abroad ultimately made this work possible.
