What was Hamas Thinking?: Gaza Lecture Series

Busboys and Poets in partnership with the various departments at Georgetown University, join us for our new GAZA LECTURE SERIES at Busboys and Poets

Since October 10th, 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 Georgetown University’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies, African Studies Program & Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, 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 more about Palestinian resistance and liberation efforts (both historically and contemporary), how Hamas came to be, and what Palestinian resistance looks like moving forward. 

Historian Tareq Baconi is joining us on the Busboys stage to share his scholarly and personal experiences surrounding Israeli mass violence in Palestinian territories. He’ll be joined by Dr. Nader Hashemi, Associate Professor of Middle East and Islamic Politics at Georgetown University. There will be a specially curated selection of books about Palestine, the Palestine Israeli conflict, and the 1948 Nakba available for purchase during and after the program. 

This event is free and open to all. Our program begins at 6:00 pm, and will be followed by an audience Q&A. Please note that this event is in person and will not be livestreamed. 

We ask that guests RSVP in order to receive direct updates about the event from Busboys and Poets Books
