The Anthropology of Palestine

Catalog description

This course will explore the histories, representations, politics, and deeply embodied consequences of the nearly 80-year conflict that has come to characterize Palestinian life. This course engages how two relevant disciplines (anthropology and Palestine studies) have examined and unraveled "the question of Palestine" and how the politics of today have transformed how academic fields, humanitarians, politicians, and everyday citizens across the world have regarded the existential and political weight of that very question.
