The Paris School of International Affairs, in collaboration with the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and IE University’s School of Politics, Economics & Global Affairs is delighted to announce new episodes of the webinar series: Scholars in dialogue: six conversations on the modern Middle East.
Following a first conversation about Gaza on 17 April, the next two sessions will explore the History and Politics of Israel and Palestine through a conversation between Bernard Avishai and Ezzedine Fishere (both of Dartmouth College), moderated by Emily Bazelon of the New York Times Magazine.
Part I: 1881 - 1967 will take place on Monday 6 May.
Part II: 1967 - today will take place on Monday 13 May.
In combination, the two sessions will address several questions including:
What are the conflicts and peace-making efforts over time? What are the consequences of these events for Palestinian and Israeli society today? What are the controversies in understanding and interpreting these histories?
Borne out of a shared need for in-depth information on Middle East politics, the war between Israel and Hamas, and the broader history of the region, the Scholars in dialogue series features internationally renowned and highly informed academics and experts across multiple disciplines and perspectives. Moderated by a diverse roster of experienced journalists, each conversation will reflect multiple positions with sensitivity and understanding.
