/“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./
