SUMMARY:2022 Online Film and Discussion MidEast Series:  Sumud
DESCRIPTION:THE SPRING 2022 ONLINE FILM AND DISCUSSION SERIES  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe theme for this year’s Film Series is Sumud. This is a Palestinian word that means “Steadfastness” or “Steadfast Perseverance.” It is a cultural value in Palestine. There is no possible way Palestinians can defend themselves in the face of one of the most well-equipped military powers in the world. They practice “sumud” which sometimes is an act of making breakfast\, sometimes walking the children to the checkpoint on the way to school\, sometimes\, joining a peaceful protest at a blocked crossroad\, just to say “We are here!” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this series we will meet a young Israeli woman who also practices her own sumud as she resists joining the Israeli military. We will discover what sumud looks like in the devastation we call “Gaza”\, and in the tragedy we call “Hebron.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo receive links to the film (watch on your own time within 48 hours of the discussion) and the Zoom discussion\, send a message to seattlemideastfocus@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAPRIL 8\, 8 P.M. (discussion)\nGAZA\nGaza brings us into a unique place beyond the reach of television news reports to reveal a world rich with eloquent and resilient characters\, offering us a cinematic and enriching portrait of a people attempting to lead meaningful lives against the rubble of perennial conflict. \nLearn more here. \nwith host: \nspecial guest: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAPRIL 22\, 8 p.m. (discussion)\nMISSION: HEBRON\nand SKIES ABOVE HEBRON\nIn Mission: Hebron six young Israeli men who served in the army from the age of 18 give an account of their mission in Hebron\, a Palestinian city in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Footage documenting numerous appalling situations corroborates their compelling stories\, from soldiers taking pot shots with rubber bullets and conducting humiliating searches of passersby to arresting ten-year-olds and turning entire households upside down. What effect did these military duties have on their moral compass? Looking back and growing older\, how do they feel about this mission now? \nLearn more here. \nSkies above Hebron is a coming of age story depicting three boys coping\, each in his own way\, with physical and mental obstacles enclosing life in their Palestinian hometown of Hebron. \nLearn more here. \nwith host: \nspecial guest: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMAY 6\, 8 P.M. (discussion)\nLITTLE PALESTINE: DIARY OF A SEIGE\nDuring the Syrian civil war\, the district of Yarmouk\, home to thousands of Palestinians\, became the scene of dramatic and ferocious fighting. Little Palestine: Diary of a Siege is a film that follows the destiny of civilians during the brutal sieges\, imposed by the Syrian regime\, that took place in the wake of the battles. With his camera\, Abdallah Al-Khatib composes a love song to a place that proudly resists the atrocities of war \nLearn more here. \nwith host: \nspecial guest: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMAY 20\, 8 P.M. (discussion)\n200 METERS\nMustafa lives on the Palestinian-controlled side of the wall\, and Salwa and their children on the Israeli side. One day he gets the call every parent dreads: his son has been in an accident and is in the hospital. He will do anything to reach his son\, and after being denied access through the checkpoint on a technicality\, Mustafa embarks upon a journey to cross the border illegally. \nLearn more here. \nwith host: \nspecial guest:

SUMMARY:P&P Live! Luma Mufleh — Learning America (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Click Here to register for this virtual event. \nLearning America traces the story of how Mufleh grew a group of kids into a soccer team and then into a nationally acclaimed network of schools for refugee children. The journey is inspiring and hard-won: Fugees schools accept only those most in need; no student passes a grade without earning it; the failure of any student is the responsibility of all. Soccer as a part of every school day is a powerful catalyst to heal trauma\, create belonging\, and accelerate learning. Finally\, this gifted storyteller delivers provocative\, indelible portraits of student after student making leaps in learning that aren’t supposed to be possible for children born into trauma–stories that shine powerful light on the path to educational justice for all of America’s most left-behind. \nLuma Mufleh is the founder of Fugees Family\, with schools now in Georgia and Ohio and an expanding footprint bringing educational equity to refugee resettlement communities across America. Her TED Talk on educational justice for refugee families was viewed more than 1.7 million times.

SUMMARY:Sisters in the Mirror: A History of Muslim Women and the Global Politics of Feminism
DESCRIPTION:Hiwar Maftuh (Public Conversation)\n  \n\nApril 25\, 2022 \n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM \n\n\n\nLocation\nVirtual via Zoom \n\n\nCalendar\nDownload iCal File\n\n\nJoin the Arab American Cultural Center\, the Women’s Leadership and Resource Center\, and Prof. Nadine Naber for a conversation with Elora Shehabuddin\, Professor of Transnational Asian Studies and Core Faculty\, at the Center for the Study of Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality at Rice University\, about her new book Sisters in the Mirror: A History of Muslim Women and the Global Politics of Feminism. \nAbout the Book: Stretching from the eighteenth-century Enlightenment era to the War on Terror present\, Sisters in the Mirror shows how changes in women’s lives and feminist strategies have consistently reflected wider changes in national and global politics and economics. Elora Shehabuddin presents a unique and engaging history of feminism as a story of colonial and postcolonial interactions between Western and Muslim societies. Muslim women have found themselves having to negotiate their demands for rights within other forms of struggle—for national independence or against occupation\, racism\, and economic inequality. Through stories of both well-known and relatively unknown figures\, Shehabuddin recounts instances of conflict alongside those of empathy\, collaboration\, and solidarity across this extended period. Sisters in the Mirror is organized around stories of encounters between women and men from South Asia\, Britain\, and the United States that led them\, as if they were looking in a mirror\, to pause and reconsider norms in their own society\, including cherished ideas about women’s roles and rights. These intertwined stories confirm that nowhere\, in either Western or Muslim societies\, has material change in girls’ and women’s lives come easily or without protracted struggle. \nAbout Author: Elora Shehabuddin is Professor of Transnational Asian Studies and Core Faculty\, Center for the Study of Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality\, at Rice University. She is author of Reshaping the Holy: Democracy\, Development\, and Muslim Women in Bangladesh\, coeditor of Gender and Economics in Muslim Communities\, and associate editor of the Encyclopedia of Women and Islamic Cultures. \nEvent is co-sponsored by Global Asian Studies and Gender and Women’s Studies \nZoom auto-captioning will be available.
