A new generation of Palestinians is marching on the footsteps of 
previous generations, rising up against Israel's brutal, decades-old 
system of occupation, settler colonialism and apartheid. Tens of 
thousands of Palestinians have joined demonstrations taking place in 
dozens of cities across historic Palestine and in refugee camps in 
neighbouring Arab countries. Palestinians continue to struggle for their 
fundamental rights of freedom, self-determination, equality, and a right 
to return. As the resistance on the ground intensifies, university 
campuses remain central to building on the Palestinian solidarity movement.

The call for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) has recently made 
tremendous gains, in particular on university campuses and academic 
institutions. Both the American Anthropological Association (AAA) and 
the National Women's Studies Association (NWSA) recently passed BDS 
resolutions, with an overwhelming majority.

On the evening of January 12th at 7pm, join the University of Toronto 
Graduate Students Union BDS Ad Hoc Committee, SAIA UofT, along with 
Noura Erakat and Nada Elia for a panel discussion on what is currently 
taking place on the ground in Palestine, and what we can do on campuses 
to support the resistance, and build on the Palestinian resistance 
movement.

*Speakers' Bios: *

*Nada Elia: *
Nada Elia is a diaspora Palestinian, born in Baghdad, Iraq, and raised 
in Beirut, Lebanon. Nada currently teaches Global and Gender Studies at 
Antioch University- Seattle, where she coordinates the Global Studies 
area of concentration. Nada is a member of the Organizing Committee of 
the US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, and has 
spoken around the country about academic boycott as a means to achieve 
the currently non-existent academic freedom in the US, Israel, and 
Palestine.
A scholar-activist, Elia is past president of AMEWS, the Association of 
Middle East Women's Studies, and currently serves on the steering 
collective of The Critical Ethnic Studies Association. She also serves, 
or has served, on a number of local grassroots activist organizations. 
She is a founding member of RAWAN (the Radical Arab Women's Activist 
Network); a former representative to the United Nations of AWSA (the 
Arab Women's Solidarity Association); a member of the Defense of Civil 
Rights in Academia; and a former member of the steering collective of 
INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence, where she co-chaired of the 
Anti-Militarism, and Anti-Occupation taskforce.

international human rights law in the Middle East at Georgetown 
University since Spring 2009.Noura is a Co-Editor of Jadaliyya, an 
electronic magazine on the Middle East that combines scholarly expertise 
and local knowledge. Most recently she served as Legal Counsel for the 
Domestic Policy Subcommittee of the Oversight and Government Reform 
Committee in the House of Representatives. Prior to her time on Capitol 
Hill, Noura received a New Voices Fellowship to work as the national 
grassroots organizer and legal advocate at the US Campaign to End the 
Israeli Occupation where she helped seed BDS campaigns nationally as 
well as support the cases brought against two former Israeli officials 
in U.S. federal courts for alleged war crimes. For several years, Noura 
worked as the Legal Advocacy Coordinator for the Badil Center for 
Refugee and Residency Rights. In that capacity, she drafted their 
submissions to the human rights treaty bodies and lobbied the US 
Congress as well as diplomatic missions at the United Nations on their 
behalf. Prior to attending law school, she helped launch the divestment 
campaign along with the Students for Justice in Palestine at UC Berkeley 
in 2001.
