Join the Centre for the Study of Democracy and SASVI event highlighting the importance of visibility of the Palestinian struggle against occupation and the freedom to discuss it.
The event will be chaired by Dr Maria Holt (University of Westminster) and will include speakers Dr Ghada Karmi (University of Exeter) and Professor Neve Gordon (Queen Mary University London).
By drawing on the growing body of literature of indigenous studies, settler colonial studies and Palestinian studies, the event will emphasize that the Palestinian Nakba is not something that is in the past but, rather, is an ongoing catastrophe.
Dr Ghada Karmi, a survivor of the Nakba and an outstanding chronicler and witness to its ongoing effects on Palestinian society, will be in conversation with Professor Neve Gordon, an outspoken critic of the Israeli government and the chilling apartheid manifestations and effects of its policies in Palestine. Professor Gordon is also a signatory of the Jerusalem Declaration, written by prominent Jewish figures and organisations to counter the IHRA declaration, which is being exploited to curtail freedom of expression and activism on Palestinian rights and legitimate historical narratives.
The event will take place on Zoom.
