Palestine Across Disciplines: An Introduction

Catalog description

How do we talk about Palestine and Palestinian life in the midst of devastation and genocide? Through literature, poetry, visual and material culture, critical theory, and history, this team-taught course will provide context and generate discussion about Palestine's past, present, and future. Each session will be led by a professor with different expertise and disciplinary tools. These diverse perspectives offer students both a wide range of materials and an array of interpretive tools as we consider together how Palestine and Palestinians have figured and figured themselves in global imaginaries and geopolitics. The class covers history, anthropology, education, heritage, ethnic studies, poetry, literature, and film.
