ADAMANT – Barnard College Professor of Education Thea Abu El-Haj will be a guest speaker at the Adamant Community Club on Sunday, Feb. 15, at 3 P.M., as part of the Winter Sunday series.
Thea Abu El-Haj, professor in education, is an anthropologist of education. Her research explores questions about belonging, rights, citizenship and education raised by globalization, transnational migration, and conflict. Her current research, “Disrupting Dispossession: Teaching Palestine in Exile, 1970-1990” is an oral history project with Palestinian teachers in Lebanon.
Recently Abu El-Haj was one of four authors of a special issue of the Harvard Educational Review devoted to “education and Palestine;” the issue was canceled within days of publication. She will discuss that experience, plus what she terms “scholasticide” and the issue of Gaza on today’s college campuses with Rick Winston.
Admission is free; the series will continue each Sunday through March 1. For more information, call (802) 454-7103.
