Weatherhead Forum on Israel/Palestine: Peace Activism
This session is open to the public and will be recorded, but dissemination is TBD. Registration is required for this Zoom webinar. (See the our series page on Israel/Palestine for more information, including videos, on past events in the series.)
In our Weatherhead Forum series on Israel/Palestine, we bring together scholars across disciplines and with different perspectives to better understand the dimensions of this conflict. Our series aims to address current and historical events, polarization, potential resolutions, the humanitarian response, implications for the region, the role of US foreign policy, and more.
Part 5: Peace Activism
Long before the events of October 2023, thousands of people, both Palestinians and Israelis, have been active in the peace movement. Amidst today’s heightened tensions, peace groups remain active but are operating under more challenging conditions. Undeterred by bans on protests and blowback on social media, peace activists are pursuing distinct visions to construct new realities for Palestinians and Israelis. Through their passion and commitment, they are attracting support from around the world. A panel of leaders, teachers, and scholars will discuss the experiences they’ve had bringing people together and bridging gaps.
