Session Type: Symposium
The field of education has a crucial role to play in supporting students, educators, and policymakers in contextualizing the current situation in Gaza with histories and continuing impacts of political contestations. This symposium highlights papers that address education as spaces of resistance. Grounded in a decolonial lens, these pieces represent an epistemology that honors Palestinian history and identity. By engaging with these papers, the symposium seeks to reimagine how educational systems could reckon with, rebuild, repair and remedy the impacts of occupation and violence.
