Part of the Possibilities of Palestinian Refusal: Against Disciplining Knowledge and Movement Speaking Series
October 23, 2024 4:00-6:00pm | Cervantes Velasquez Room, Bay Tree Bldg, 420 Hagar Dr, Santa Cruz, CA
This presentation focuses on the political potential of contemporary Palestinian transnational youth activism in Europe and USA. It compares student political engagement namely by examining the formation and development of the General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS) during what is regarded as the “golden age” of the Palestinian revolution (1960s-1970s) with contemporary initiatives, efforts and strategies of mobilization amongst Palestinian youth in shatat (Diaspora). By looking to the past through a historical continuum that has molded present-day Palestinian youth activism, I propose that new futures can only be made through methodologies that tether together time and space.
