Palestine Studies International Symposium: Prospects for Development in Palestine 2022
The symposium is an initiative sponsored by the Palestine Economic Policy Research Institute (MAS), with support from the most prominent Palestine and Arab Studies research centers in universities from around the globe, to create a virtual space to come together to reflect, discuss, and contemplate on the results of new research on major Palestinian economic, social and political developments.
The purpose is to encourage candid and constructive, scholarly dialogue during a difficult stage in the Palestinian development process and in the history of the Palestinian people’s liberation movement from injustice. While these international centres of excellence educate, train and nurture scholarship in a range of disciplines pertinent to Palestinian development, MAS deploys the skills and expertise of researchers and academics in its applied policy research on the ground in Palestine.
The Symposium allows our community to meet and compare notes between theory and praxis. MAS would be happy to see this develop as an annual exercise, to examine other work of special importance going forward.
The hybrid Symposium will take place on Monday, Sep 12, 2022, 14:00 -17:15 Jerusalem time (07:00 - 08:15 EST).
It is co-sponsored by the European Centre for Palestine Studies, University of Exeter, UK, the Centre for Palestine Studies, SOAS, University of London, UK, the Center for Palestine Studies, Columbia University, USA, the Center for Middle East Studies, Brown University, USA and the Arab Center for Policy Research, Qatar.
