The last week has seen thousands in Israel/Palestine killed and wounded, following a massacre of Israelis by Hamas militants on Saturday morning and devastating Israeli air strikes against Palestinian neighborhoods in Gaza. This panel brings together a Palestinian American legal scholar and a Canadian Jewish political scientist who have spent the last two years intensively traveling to, and writing about, the region together. Join us for a session on the urgency of advancing the values of human life, equality, and freedom, as well as the challenges and opportunities of friendship across political communities.

Panelists Include: Omar Dajani, professor of law, University of the Pacific and Mira Scuharov, political scientist, Carleton University

Co sponsors: Jewish Studies Program, Center for Civil Rights and Racial Justice, Office of the Chancellor
