[Tsa] Fwd: [Warf] EPEC on the Israel-Palestine conflict this Jan Term

[Jess Kahn]

Hello everyone,
Please help spread the word about this EPEC that Noam and I have put a
lot of work into designing. It will be educative and worthwhile both to people
who already know a lot and to people who don't know as much. Email Noam or
myself if you would like to sign up or if you have any questions. It is possible
to receive academic credit for this course.
Thanks and enjoy the rest of your break!

A Brief History of The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Type of Activity: EPEC Course, Jan Term, Hampshire College

Description: The course will be going through the past 70 years of the conflict,
with the intention of rethinking some of the misconceptions that people on all
sides hold in regard to the conflict. Each participant will look at primary
materials, along with secondary intellectual, historical and cultural works. We
will also view some movies in addition to the regular class work. Each
participant will generate a body of work which will consist of personal essays,
artistic work, or academic papers that will respond to the materials we will
discuss.

Meeting Time & Place: Cole 121; Monday through Friday, 10:30am - 1:00pm (with a
short break)
Start & End Dates: Jan. 5th - Jan. 22nd
