Pre-State Zionist Approaches to Jewish-Arab Relations in Palestine

Monday May 18, 2026 7:30pm - 8:30pm EDT

TBA

In this session, we will do a close reading of early (1920s and 1930s) ideas about the relationship between Zionism and the local Arab population. Drawing from the works of Martin Buber, Zeev Jabotinsky, and Henrietta Szold, we will examine how the echoes of the past are present in the current discourse about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Supervisors of all viewpoints and content knowledge are warmly welcome to join! If you're looking for a spicy conversation across political difference, this session is for you. [SUPERVISORS ONLY]
