Just World Educational’s project “Understanding Hamas & Why That Matters”

In May 2024, Just World Ed is presenting a five-part series of public conversations, co-hosted by our board member Rami G. Khouri and president, Helena Cobban, on the topic of “Understanding Hamas and Why That Matters”. In these conversations, we will bring in a variety of experts on different aspects of the history and development of this movement, whose full name is “The Islamic Resistance Movement”, and which plays a significant role within the broader movement for Palestinian national liberation.

We’re very pleased to announce that the first of our guest experts will be Dr. Paola Caridi, a historian and journalist who is a Lecturer at the University of Palermo, Italy. Dr. Caridi is a founding member and the president of the News Agency “Lettera22”, and was their correspondent in Cairo, 2001-2003, and their correspondent in Jerusalem, 2003-2012.

The second of her three published books was Hamas: From Resistance to Government, which first appeared in Italian in 2009, and then in English in 2012. (An updated version was released last October 10.)

Dr. Caridi is a Knight of the Order of the Italian Solidarity’s Star, which is chaired by the President of the Italian Republic.
