A Series of Public Lectures on Palestine at Tallinn University

From 4 to 11 December, Tallinn University School of Humanities will host a series of public lectures and discussions focused on Palestinian history, culture, collective memory, and the broader Middle Eastern conflict.

What has been missing in the discussion of Middle East conflicts in the Estonian media and politics, has mostly been perspectives of Palestinians and of scholars specializing in genocide studies, colonial histories, and Middle Eastern conflicts. These events seek to fill that gap and open space for informed, meaningful dialogue.

All interested participants are welcome to attend the following events:

  • 4 December, 16:00–17:30 (Terra, T-223)
    “Memory Wars and the War on Palestinian Memory: 77 Years of the Ongoing Nakba”
    Prof. Ihab Saloul, University of Amsterdam
  • 8 December, 16:30–18:00 (Mare, M-134)
    “How and Why Genocide is Distinguished from Warfare”
    Prof. Dirk Moses, CUNY
  • 11 December, 16:00–17:30 (Mare, M-649)
    “Does the Word Still Have Power in Our World?”
    A conversation with Palestinian writers Hazem Jamjoum and Heba Hayek

All events are in English and free of charge.
