Palestine Today
Thursday, April 17 | 3:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. | Abramson Family Founders Room
What do ordinary Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank think?

The leading Palestinian-American political scientist in the US, she is co-director of Arab Barometer, a nonpartisan research network that provides insight into the social, political, and economic attitudes and values of ordinary citizens across the Arab world.
For the final Farsi Lecture of this academic year, Dean Jamal will share Palestinians’ views on the ongoing humanitarian crisis and conflict, Hamas, the cease-fire, and prospects for their future. SIS professor Mohammed Abu-Nimer, SIS department of Peace, Human Rights, and Cultural Relations, will participate in the discussion.
