Dr. Yael Aronoff (Michigan State University) and Dr. Saliba Sarsar (Monmouth University) join us to discuss the legitimacy of both Israeli and Palestinian desires for self-determination and to recognize previous efforts to negotiate peace, helping us to untangle the complex history of the region.
As advocates of peacebuilding, and in particular peace in Israel and Palestine, they will infuse their discussion with compassion and constructive dialogue. From their perspective, the problems and the solutions are not an either/or proposition, but one in which compassion—particularly for Israel and Palestinian civilians—is sorely needed. Aronoff and Sarsar will explore the possibilities of a peace settlement that respects the rights of both peoples after this heartbreaking war has concluded.
In this event, you will experience a much-needed dialogue to understanding the present violence in the region, as well as ways in which both populations' desires to live in peace could be respected in the future.
This event follows the Shared Principles for Educational Events on the Israel-Palestine Conflict by the faculty group on such educational events, in the Division of Global Engagement.
Co-sponsored by: Academic Engagement Network, College of Arts and Sciences, School of Global Studies and Languages, Global Studies Institute, UO-UNESCO Crossings Institute/UNESCO Chair of Transcultural Studies, Interreligious Dialogue and Peace.
