Details: We invite you to join us for a webinar discussing the various impediments to higher education and research facing Palestinians within the context of the Israeli occupation of Palestine. The conversation will cover the practical barriers at various functional levels of research and higher education, including the arbitrary detention of Palestinian students and academics who are in extreme cases even tortured. The presentations will include a recent paper from the Bisan Center, “The Obstacles of Scientific Research in Palestine”.
Panelists include Duha Barghouthi-Al Quds University, Hanan Husein-Bisan Center, Carmen Kishek-Birzeit University, and Rana Samara-Palestine Technical University-Kadoorie.
