SUMMARY:P&P Live! Koa Beck — White Feminism: From the Suffragettes to Influencers and Who They Leave Behind - with Ruby Hamad
DESCRIPTION:A timely and impassioned exploration of how our society has commodified feminism and continues to systemically shut out women of color–perfect for fans of White Fragility and Good and Mad .\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the important conversation about race\, empowerment\, and inclusion in the United States with this powerful new feminist classic and rousing call for change. Koa Beck\, writer and former editor-in-chief of Jezebel\, boldly examines the history of feminism\, from the true mission of the suffragettes to the rise of corporate feminism with clear-eyed scrutiny and meticulous detail. She also examines overlooked communities–including Native American\, Muslim\, transgender\, and more–and their difficult and ongoing struggles for social change. \nKoa Beck is the former editor-in-chief of Jezebel. Previously\, she was the executive editor at Vogue and cohost of “The #MeToo Memos” on WNYC’s The Takeaway.

SUMMARY:ARCE Open Public Lecture: Panel Discussion of the Lecture Anxieties about Race in Egyptology and Egyptomania\, 1890-1960
DESCRIPTION:Registration is required\nPresented by: Donald Reid\, Salima Ikram\, Vanessa Davies\, Fayza Haikal\, Eve M. Troutt Powell\, & Annissa Malvoisin \nInfo about the lecture: \nDespite ideals of scientific and scholarly objectivity\, both Egyptologists and non-specialists have often projected their own racial anxieties back into ancient Egypt. Recurrent attempts to prove that the ancient Egyptians were white or Black\, for example\, reveal more about modern societies than about ancient Egypt. The panel will discuss the history of how such debates have played out among modern Western and Egyptian scholars\, artists\, and writers\, and how interpretations of ancient Egypt are intertwined with personal beliefs and prejudices. \n  \nTo prepare for the program\, audience members should listen to this lecture HERE\, given at Harvard in 2017 in advance.

SUMMARY:Movie: Jenin\, Jenin - Live Stream
DESCRIPTION:To register for this event please click here. \nTo view the film trailer please click here. \nThe screening of the film will be followed by Q&A discussion with film Director Mohammad Bakri. \nAbout the Film \nMuhammad Bakri’s film “Jenin\, Jenin” caused a storm in Israel and even made it to the Supreme Court (which made a decision banning its release). \nThe film deals with the events of Jenin in April 2002\, when the Israeli Army invaded the West Bank town and the refugee camp as part of the so-called “Operation Defensive Shield.” \nPalestinians as well as human rights groups accuse Israel of war crimes committed during the siege and invasion of the Palestinian refugee camp in April 2002. “Jenin Jenin” demonstrates the extent of Israeli oppression and terror and the effects they have left behind.

SUMMARY:Egyptian Rule and Canaanite Resistance as Seen from Jaffa: ARCE Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The excavations of the Egyptian New Kingdom fortress in Jaffa\, on the southern side of Tel Aviv were undertaken from 1956 to 2014. It was the only Egyptian fortress excavated in Canaan. Its archaeological record\, particularly the evidence from several dramatic destructions\, provides a unique perspective on Egyptian rule and local resistance to it from ca. 1460 to 1125 B.C. The archaeological evidence\, taken together with textual sources\, yields a picture of Canaanite resistance to the Egyptian military presence in Jaffa. This originated in centers located throughout the coastal plain and persisted for several centuries. This talk is drawn from excavations directed by the author and undertaken by the Jaffa Cultural Heritage Project between 2011 and 2014. Dr. Aaron Burke is the Kershaw Chair of Ancient Eastern Mediterranean Studies at UCLA.

SUMMARY:“No One Will Do This For Us” Intellectuals of African Descent and the Nile Valley in the Early 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:The disciplinary history of Egyptology\, as it is currently written\, incorrectly excludes the voices of intellectuals of African descent. In the early 20th century\, when Egyptology was first taught in US universities\, Black scholars and writers and white Egyptologists who held university posts engaged with one another over matters related to Egypt\, ancient and modern. These conversations must be recognized as integral to the formation of the discipline in the United States and to its future. Vanessa Davies is the founding organizer of the Nile Valley Collective\, which promotes the Africanity of the ancient NileValley cultures. She is writing a book on the contributions of scholars of African descent in the US to the disciplinary histories of Egyptology and Nubiology. She is the author of Peace in Ancient Egypt\, the co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Egyptian Epigraphy and Palaeography\, and the editor of The Phoebe A. Hearst Expedition to Naga ed-Deir\, Cemeteries N 2000 and N2500. \nONLINE MEETING LINK: us02web.zoom.us…

SUMMARY:P&P Live!: Marc Lamont Hill and Mitchell Plitnick — Except for Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 19\, 2021 – 6 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will be streamed online as part of our P&P Live! Series. \nA bold call for the American Left to extend their politics to the issues of Israel-Palestine\, from a New York Times bestselling author and experts on U.S. policy in the region. \nHill and Plitnick provide a timely and essential intervention by examining multiple dimensions of the Israeli-Palestinian conversation\, including Israel’s growing disdain for democracy\, the effects of occupation on Palestine\, the siege of Gaza\, diminishing American funding for Palestinian relief\, and the campaign to stigmatize any critique of Israeli occupation. Except for Palestine is a searing polemic and a cri de coeur for elected officials\, activists\, and everyday citizens alike to align their beliefs and politics with their values. \nMARC LAMONT HILL is an award-winning journalist and the Steve Charles Professor of Media\, Cities\, and Solutions at Temple University. He is the author of multiple books\, including the New York Times bestselling Nobody\, and co-author (with Mitchell Plitnick) of Except for Palestine (The New Press). His newest book\, We Still Here: Pandemic\, Policing\, Protest\, and Possibility is a timely intervention into the popular movement for police abolition. He’s featured speaking for The Root here. \nMITCHELL PLITNICK\, the president of ReThinking Foreign Policy\, is a political analyst and a frequent writer on the Middle East and U.S. foreign policy. His past roles include vice president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace\, director of the U.S. Office of B’Tselem\, and co-director of Jewish Voice for Peace.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Two State Solution: Book Talk and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Jonathan Kuttab’s new book is a short introduction to the crisis in Palestine-Israel\, which has been characterized by the competing visions of Zionism and Palestinian nationalism. While many thought the two-state solution would offer a resolution\, Jonathan explains that the two-state solution (that he supported) is no longer viable. He suggests that any solution be predicated on the basic existential needs of the two parties\, which he lays out in exceptional detail. He formulates a way forward for a one-state solution that challenges both Zionism and Palestinian nationalism. This book invites readers to begin a new conversation based on reality: two peoples will need to live together in some sort of unified state. It is balanced and accessible to neophytes and to experts alike. \nZoom Registration

SUMMARY:Tatreez Workshops and Lectures by Tatreez and Tea  - Ongoing
DESCRIPTION:Your instructor is author and scholar Wafa Ghnaim\, founder of Tatreez & Tea! \nTatreez & Tea’s mission is to preserve Palestinian embroidery and storytelling traditions in the diaspora. Tatreez & Tea is the first of it’s kind. When Wafa first founded Tatreez & Tea in 2016\, she was the only educator solely focused on Palestinian embroidery\, traveling the US and the world. Now\, new local initiatives\, culture bearers\, “tatreez circles”\, and mentors are emerging from communities around the world like never before. The tatreez revolution has gained a beautiful momentum and now is the time to join. \nWafa’s goal in her educational classes are three-fold: educate students from art history and oral history perspectives that preserve the meanings\, stories and symbolism of traditional Palestinian embroidery motifs; teach versatile skills that allow students to eventually produce large independent projects; encourage students to become creative and grow beyond simply abiding by traditional embroidery principles. \nClick here for upcoming events! \nhttps://www.tatreezandtea.com/events

SUMMARY:Eggstraordinary Objects: ostrich eggs as luxury items in the ancient Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Tamar Hodos\, University of Bristol \nDecorated ostrich eggs were traded as luxury items from the Middle East to the western Mediterranean during the second and first millennia BCE. The eggs were engraved\, painted\, and occasionally embellished with ivory\, precious metals and faience fittings. While archaeologists note their presence as unusual vessels in funerary and dedicatory contexts\, little is known about how or from where they were sourced\, decorated and traded. An ongoing project between researchers at Bristol University and the British Museum has established techniques to identify where the eggs originated and how they were decorated. This talk shares the results of our study\, revealing the complexity of the production\, trade\, and economic and social values of luxury organic items between competing cultures of the ancient Mediterranean world. \nRegister Here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMscuGhrzMvGdB8aReWTG8Q5DLaMX2vLsSP

SUMMARY:Lecture at San Jose State University: Laila Lalami
DESCRIPTION:The acclaimed\, award-winning novelist–author of The Moor’s Account and The Other Americans–now gives us a bracingly personal work of nonfiction that is concerned with the experiences of “conditional citizens.” \nWhat does it mean to be American? In this starkly illuminating and impassioned book\, Pulitzer Prize Finalist Laila Lalami recounts her unlikely journey from Moroccan immigrant to U.S. citizen\, using it as a starting point for her exploration of the rights\, liberties\, and protections that are traditionally associated with American citizenship. Tapping into history\, politics\, and literature\, she elucidates how accidents of birth–such as national origin\, race\, or gender–that once determined the boundaries of Americanness still cast their shadows today. Throughout the book\, she poignantly illustrates how white supremacy survives through adaptation and legislation\, with the result that a caste system is maintained\, keeping the modern equivalent of white male landowners at the top of the social hierarchy. Conditional citizens\, she argues\, are all the people whom America embraces with one arm\, and pushes away with the other. \nBrilliantly argued and deeply personal\, Conditional Citizens weaves together the author’s own experiences with explorations of the place of nonwhites in the broader American culture.

SUMMARY:Tatreez & Me: Motherhood\, Palestinian Identity\, and Embroidery
DESCRIPTION:Palestinian embroidery\, or tatreez\, is centuries-old folk art\, traditionally passed from mother to daughter over a cup of tea. The traditional Palestinian embroidered dress\, also known as the thobe\, has traceable origins from the beginning of the sixteenth century and the tatreez\, or embroidery\, has an iconographical and symbolic significance that ultimately dates back to Chinese symbols found around 5\,000 BC. \nAward-winning Palestinian embroiderer Feryal Abbasi-Ghnaim began passing the endangered art form to her daughter Wafa Ghnaim at two years old. \nThis Mother’s Day\, we will celebrate the Palestinian art of embroidery and Palestinian stories through a conversation with Feryal and Wafa about motherhood\, Palestinian identity\, and embroidery. Bring your mom and your girlfriends for what is sure to be a thoughtful\, engaging\, and heartwarming conversation.
