Sustaining Higher Education in Gaza

Special Session IV-20, sponsored byMESA Global Academy, 2024 Annual Meeting

On Tuesday, November 12 at 2:30 pm

Special Session Description
Since October 7, 2023, the destruction of Palestinian institutions of higher education and the killing of Palestinian scholars in Gaza and the West Bank has risen to a level that has led analysts to describe Israeli targeting of the educational sector as scholasticide or cultural genocide. In this roundtable with MESA Global Academy scholars in or displaced from Gaza, the participants will examine indigenous efforts to sustain and rebuild higher education in the midst and wake of genocide.
