SUMMARY:The genocide on Palestine and conditional solidarities in higher ed
 ucation in UK and Lebanon
DESCRIPTION:30 April 16:00-17:00 BST\nREGISTER HERE\nAs part of the ‘Educ
 ation\, Ethics and Research Politics’ webinar series\, the British Acade
 my Education Research in Conflict and Crisis – Bilateral Research Chairs
  based at the Centre for Lebanese Studies\, the University of Cambridge an
 d the University of Ulster\, School of Education and in collaboration with
  Koya University\, Kurdistan Iraq\, invites you to attend a webinar.\nDesc
 ription:  \nThis talk engages with the narratives and practices adopted 
 by selected universities and academics in Lebanon and the UK since October
  7th\, with most academic solidarity actions being reactionary and limited
  to the genocide in Gaza even though the struggle for liberation has persi
 sted for over 75 years.  \nThe aim is to unpack the spectrum of response
 s\, from those that are increasingly securitised and complicit in genocide
 —either through silence or conditional solidarity —to those who stand 
 in solidarity with the struggle unconditionally and without apology from t
 heir academic positions and positionality(ies). At the core of the argumen
 t is the assertion that Palestinians have historically provided both the c
 oncepts and actions necessary for genuine solidarity. This type of solidar
 ity transcends performative or conditional gestures\, exposing the continu
 ous and relentless colonial violence not just in Palestine\, but in libera
 tion struggles worldwide.\nSpeakers:\nDr. Mai Abu Moghli is a Senior Resea
 rcher at the Centre for Lebanese Studies (CLS) and a Co-PI on the British 
 academy bilateral chair in education in conflict at the University of Camb
 ridge and CLS. Mai works with teachers in Lebanon and her research focuses
  on teachers’ experiences in conflict and contexts of mass displacement\
 , decolonising higher education and teachers’ activism. \nDr. Vivienne 
 Badaan is Assistant Professor at the American University of Beirut. Dr. Ba
 daan works at the intersection of psychology\, politics\, and the study of
  social issues. \n&nbsp\;
