“Thinking Palestine Panel: 1967 and Beyond”, Panel and Poster Exhibit

Please join us on April 28 from 4-6:30 pm for a panel, poster exhibit, and reception for the event “Thinking Palestine: 1967 and Beyond.” The event will be at Wireframe Studio in the Music Library, Music Building 1st floor.

June 2017 will mark fifty years of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. The anniversary makes all too evident what activists and scholars have long noted: the Israeli military occupation is not temporary. It is a defining structure of the Israeli and Palestinian political landscape.

Along with UCLA and UC Berkeley, UCSB is hosting a day of commemoration that will include a panel, a poster exhibit, and a reception. The panel, including Felice Blake, Richard Falk, Lisa Hajjar, and Sherene Seikaly, seeks to build on decades of critical thinking and political organizing around Palestine and justice more broadly. It will engage how legality, legitimacy, and history have intersected over the last half a century. The discussant for the panel is Jennifer Tyburczy.
