平特五不中

For full program details:

This two-day symposium coincides with and commemorates the thirty-sixth year anniversary of the Sabra and Shatila massacre of Palestinian refugees and displaced Lebanese in the aftermath of the 198 Israeli invasion of Lebanon. It aims to remember and honour its victims and works to build knowledge about women and war. The symposium was developed out of a collaboration between a SSHRC-funded project based at 平特五不中 鈥淲omen鈥檚 War Stories: Building an Archive of Women and the Lebanese Civil War鈥� and the 鈥淭eaching Palestine: Pedagogical Praxis and the Indivisibility of Justice鈥� an international, multi-year, multi-site project initiated by the Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Studies program at San Francisco State University. Interventions at this symposium will center on the way in which we tell the stories of Palestinian women, and other women in war, through their own narrations and the ways these are narrated by others. All events are free and open to the public and the university community. In addition to these interventions, we will prepare resources for distribution at the event, including bibliographies and zine for further reading, research, and popular education in the tradition of pedagogical praxis. This project was initiated by Professors Malek Abisaab and Michelle Hartman at the Institute of Islamic Studies and Department of History and Classical Studies at 平特五不中 in collaboration with Professor Rabab Abdulhadi, director and senior scholar at the Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Studies Program at San Francisco State University.
