Description
This panel invites anthropologists who are participating in the American Anthropological Association’s annual meeting in Toronto this year to a public event at the University of Toronto to share their perspectives on “decolonization” in relation to the war on Gaza. Examining the war on Gaza through resistance movements, international law, and the media, they reconsider the meaning of decolonization in the discourses and events that have unfolded since the latest war started. This event provides an opportunity to critically examine how we employ decolonization as a term in academic spheres. Most importantly, it offers a platform to listen to Palestinian voices, perspectives, and realities from researchers of Palestine.
