We here at Busboys and Poets Books have been watching with horror as the siege on Gaza continues and the civilian death count rises day by day. In partnership with the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding of Georgetown University, we present The Gaza Lecture Series of 2024. We invite everyone to come and learn more about the history of settler colonialism, violence, and genocide in Palestine. Join us for this session to learn about the what/why/how behind genocide, and what genocide looks like in reality as it plays out in Gaza as we speak.
United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967 Francesa Albanese is joining us on the Busboys stage to share her scholarly and personal experiences surrounding Israeli mass violence in Palestinian territories. She’ll be joined by Dr. Nader Hashemi, Associate Professor of Middle East and Islamic Politics at Georgetown University.
This event is free and open to all. Our program begins at 8:00 pm, and will be followed by an audience Q&A. Copies of PALESTINIAN REFUGEES IN INTERNATIONAL LAW (2nd Edition) will be available for purchase before and after the event. Please note that this event is IN PERSON and will be livestreamed.
We ask that guests RSVP in order to receive direct updates about the event from Busboys and Poets Books (speaker bios and a link to purchase the book is also available here): Anatomy of Genocide in Gaza | Gaza Lecture Series Tickets, Mon, Oct 28, 2024 at 8:00 PM | Eventbrite
