[Peace] Palestine, Iraq, and U.S. Policy -- Edward Said film then Robert Warrior

[David Green via Peace]

There same to be 2 Palestine-related events just down the hall from each other on Thursday, this one and one sponsored by the SJP. It would seem to me that they should be combined. Such events are rare enough in any event.

The Transnational Solidarity Initiative warmly invites you to the 2014 Edward W. Said Memorial Lecture at the University of Illinois, by Professor Robert Warrior, Director of American Indian Studies and Professor of AIS, English and History. 

Professor Warrior's talk, "Remembering Said's Minority Imperative, and the Persistence of Lost Causes," will be on Thursday, October 30 at 7 pm in 319 Gregory Hall. Prof. Warrior's lecture will follow a film screening of Edward Said's famous speech on "Palestine, Iraq, and U.S. Policy."

On the occasion of the the 79th anniversary of Said's birth (November 1), and 2014 being the 35th anniversary of the publication of The Question of Palestine and the 20th anniversary of the publication of The Politics of Dispossession: The Struggle for Palestinian Self-Determination 1969-1994, please join us in an experimental pairing of lectures between Edward W. Said, and his one-time student, Robert Warrior.  

The Transnational Solidarity Initiative is an endeavor of the 'Rethinking Transnationalism in the Age of Mediatized Social Protest' research group, generously supported by the first Focal Point Breakthrough Grant of the Graduate College at UIUC. The initiative includes a group of international graduate students and community members attempting to interrogate the nature of solidarity networks across borders.  

We hope to see you there!

Best,

The Transnational Solidarity Initiative
