What an amazing way to end this semester ❤️ - with a deeply moving discussion of Hope & Home in the Syrian Diaspora with amazing speakers, Sarah Bassisseh, Salma Flayhan, Alhakam Shaar & Wendy Pearlman, followed by a beautiful concert of Jaffa Trio (lnkd.in/dtYk5sx7) at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social
🎆I'm extremely proud to announce a special @interactfu.bsky.social publication:
TALKING VIOLENCE - a new student-led podcast series dedicated to the many faces of violence, from its visible effects to its hidden structures.
Born out of an undergraduate seminar at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social's
The 2nd inspiring event in a row. It is not only possible but also urgently necessary to speak about the ongoing genocide in Gaza, especially at German universities!
Thank you Hanna Al-Taher and Caro Vargas for your clarity and courage to speak at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social today 🙏
Very much looking forward to tomorrow's discussion w/Hanna Al-Taher and Caro Vargas at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social @interactfu.bsky.social on traveling antagonisms and the tensions between erasure and tokenization of Palestinians in Western academia!
📍18:00 at Thielallee 67, Berlin!
