The Jerusalem Fund is pleased to present Professor Wadie Said who will deliver the 2016 Edward Said Memorial Lecture. Just as the late Dr. Edward Said struggled tirelessly in his scholarship and humanities projects to challenge and dispel dominant misperceptions of the East, Arab society, and the modern Palestinian predicament, his son Wadie Said engages a similarly noble pursuit: confronting the issue of terrorism and the ways in which it is produced and dealt with in the American legal system. |
