JanJanuary 29 , 2020IPPeace Study Group: Beyond the Green Line: The Territories Since 1967. Session I.
Wednesday, Jan 29th 7:30p
Our topic for 2020 is “Beyond the Green Line: The Territories Since 1967.” The first of our three sessions focuses on “‘Facts on the Ground’: Israel/Palestine in Time and Space.” This session will familiarize us with the chronology of events in the West Bank and Gaza from 1967 to the present and will explore, through maps and short readings, the ways in which these territories are organized, administrated, and populated. We will also look at key terms and controversies in naming and discussing the places and events “beyond the Green Line.” The study series is open to all members of CDT. Our goal is to foster learning and understanding in an environment where we can explore different viewpoints within an open and respectful learning community. Materials for the first session will be posted by January 8, but you are welcome to attend whether or not you have completed the readings. For further information, please contact any member of the ippeace steering committee: Louise Enoch, Elaine Landes, Sue Lanser, Ruth Paris, Jonathan Rosenthal. -
