Event overview
This year marks 50 years of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories- Palestinian West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, and over 100 years of the dispossession of Palestine and Palestinians across historic Palestine. A situation that demands attention yet is more often than not staged through media reporting as compromising only of two opposing sides and without hope. In this seminar we forge a discussion with Palestinian scholars whose entire lives have been subjected to the Occupation and whose experience of studying in the UK as part of a British Council initiative ‘Higher Education Scholarship Palestine’ (HESPAL) furnishes new possibilities for their future and that of their country Palestine.
