Teach-In - Palestine and Israel: Intersecting Affinities and Alternative Futures
Teach-ins bring together faculty and other speakers to reflect on topics, themes, and histories pertinent to the aims of the course. The teach-in tradition on college campuses in the United States recognizes that institutions of higher education are uniquely positioned to address pressing issues of social and political concern as an educational responsibility. Teach-ins draw on the scholarly expertise of faculty sensitive to the ethical and political implications of teaching and learning.
These events will include opportunities for questions and will be open to the full Lewis & Clark community (students, staff, and faculty from CAS, Law, and GSEC.)
This event will not be streamed remotely.
More information about the Teach In panelists (LC faculty) will be added soon.
