April 5 | 7-9pm

This event of the List brings forth the well-rehearsed question of the 
responsibility of intellectuals as an urgent political matter that 
necessitates practical organizing in the face of ongoing war in the 
Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Exploring the contested political 
terrain of contemporary MENA and drawing on existing examples of 
solidarity, panelists will facilitate a collective reimagining of an 
anti-war movement adequate to its daunting task. Some questions that 
will be of importance at this event include: In what ways can 
intellectuals contribute to such a movement? What are our 
responsibilities in and outside our institutions? What are our past and 
contemporary resources for anti-war organizing? What are the specific 
challenges for movements against war in our time, and how can we 
overcome them?

With *Gülay Kiliçaslan* (York University), *Shahrzad Mojab* (University 
of Toronto), *Alan Sears* (Ryerson University). Moderated by *Gökbörü 
Sarp Tanyildiz *(York University).

Join us for live music by *Tarek Ghriri*before the panel.

/All are welcome to this free event. The space is wheelchair accessible 
and there are gender neutral washrooms on site./
