Campus Conversations: Faculty Panel on the Situation in Gaza and Israel

This is the first event in the “Campus Conversations” initiative. A group of faculty and staff from all across the Brooklyn College campus came together in response to the impact of the violence in Gaza and Israel on the Brooklyn College community. They share different personal connections to the conflict and hold differing political positions, but are united in the belief that communicating and forging resilient connections with each other is what will hold our campus community together in times of crisis.

The faculty panel discussion will be an open discussion centered on the following questions. It is open to Brooklyn College students, faculty, and staff.

• What do we, as members of the Brooklyn College community need to understand right now about Israel and Palestine and the ramifications in NYC, in Brooklyn, on our campus?
• How do we create space for everyone to discuss these matters on our campus?
• How do we create and maintain community?

To get involved, please contact faculty Allan Amanik (aamanik@brooklyn.cuny.edu) or Mobina Hashmi (mhashmi@brooklyn.cuny.edu).
