The Imperative to Refuse Psychic Intrusion in Palestine-Lebanon Solidarities * 01/22/2026

WHEN: THURSDAY, JANUARY 22 at 3PM

WHERE: Humanities 1, Room 210

The Center for Racial Justice is very proud to sponsor the second annual Possibilities of Palestinian Refusal: Against Disciplining Knowledge and Movement series!

Please join us for the following talk with Lara Sheehi: The Imperative to Refuse Psychic Intrusion in Palestine-Lebanon Solidarities


This talk will discuss the ways psychic intrusions are central features of settler colonial logics and how they are used with specific intent to disrupt solidarities. Palestine-Lebanon solidarities will be used as a “case study” to read the psycho-politico-affective forces that demobilize. 

Lara Sheehi is a Research Fellow at the University of South Africa’s Institute for Social and Health Sciences, a licensed clinical psychologist, and the host of the Psychic Militancy podcast.
