15 October, 13:00-14:00
This is an in-person event at the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge, with the option to join online.
This seminar discusses the recent Israeli war on Lebanon and its impact on education across the country. It will reflect on links with global injustices and racism, locating the debate in anti-racism discourses as a strategy to counter all forms of ethno-nationalistic ideologies and discrimination.
Panellists:
- Professor Maha Shuayb, Director, Centre for Lebanese Studies
- Dr Diala Lteif, Research Fellow, Margaret Anstee Centre for Global Studies, Newnham College
Chair:
- Professor Yusuf Sayed, Faculty of Education
Our two panelists will engage in a conversation around the history of the current war between Israel and Lebanon and how this new round of Israeli aggression is affecting a country already struggling with compounding crises. The discussion will explore how the Lebanese society is responding to this war, in particular efforts to provide education for over a third of its whole population which has been displaced.
This event is organised by the Research for Equitable Access and Learning (REAL) Centre at the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge, in collaboration with the Centre for Lebanese Studies.
