/“Hearing Palestine” is a new initiative at the University of Toronto, 
that provides a safe space for Palestinians and those interested in the 
history & future of Palestine to share their experience and research. 
The initiative is designed to improve the university experience for 
students enduring, and concerned about, anti-Palestinian discrimination 
on campus. We encourage dialogues on cultural life, artistic 
creativity_,_ social justice and current affairs in Canada and the 
Middle East from the perspective of Palestine. We are in solidarity with 
indigenous struggles everywhere and encourage critical engagement with 
settler colonialism, sectarianism and authoritarianism in the Middle 
East, Canada and elsewhere./

/The first speaker for "Hearing Palestine" is Abdel Razzaq Takriti, an 
Associate Professor, Arab-American Educational Foundation Chair in 
Modern Arab History, and Founding Director of the Arab-American 
Educational Foundation Center for Arab Studies at the University of 
Houston. During his undergraduate years at the University of Toronto 
(1999-2003), he was one of the founding members of the Arab Students 
Collective and was involved in a broad range of anti-racist, 
anti-colonial and social justice campaigns./
