This spring marks 70 years since the establishment of the State of Israel. The events of 1948 are celebrated as Israeli Independence and lamented as the Palestinian Nakba. The date is a reminder of the array of narratives on this history and the untold interpretations of its social and political convolutions. Just as substantial are the constant, weighty questions regarding future directions that can be taken by these two peoples. This conference will bring together Israelis, Palestinians, and Americans to discuss and debate the history, the politics, and the current critical moment, which holds equal portions of hope and despair.
Participants include faculty from the following institutions:
MIT, Boston University, Boston College, UMASS/Boston, Birzeit University, Ben-Gurion University, Tel Aviv University
