SUMMARY:Lecture: Why Palestine Studies Now?
DESCRIPTION:This talk draws attention the importance of Palestinian history and humanity\, why both are central to an understanding of the modern Middle East and to contemporary aspirations for liberation and freedom\, and why both have been consistently denied and removed from view in order to cohere modern Western liberalism.\nRSVP here. \nThis event is free and open to the public.  \nAbout the speaker\nDr. Ussama Makdisi is the inaugural May Ziadeh Chair in Palestinian and Arab Studies\, Professor of History\, and Chancellor’s Professor at the University of California Berkeley.
