Reimagining Palestine Public Lecture Series
Contacts
Mainstream discussions on Palestine have long been dominated by voices that have sought to sideline, if not wholly invisibilise, Palestinian narrations centring experiences ranging from the Nakba to the Israeli Occupation. This occlusion has carried with its serious implications on our collective understanding of the causes underlying the Palestine-Israel conflict. This lecture series aims to address this distortion by amplifying (and reclaiming) Palestinian scholarly voices to raise critical awareness on Palestinian history as well as offering context to the current situation that resists the continuous attempt to ‘normalise’ the ongoing dispossession of the Palestinians. The lecture series also gives space to thesevoices to narrate and imagine pathways toward a just and dignified (future) Palestine.
