SUMMARY:Eman Ghanayem - For the Love of Genocide
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Racial Justice is proud to present For the Love of Genocide with Eman Ghanayem\, Assistant Professor of English at the University of San Diego. \nThis presentation unravels love in its colonial manifestation as a rationale for genocidal violence. It centers in its analysis the discourse currently used by those supporting and perpetuating genocide in Gaza. Love expressed in contexts of Zionist loyalties and its brand of settler nationalism\, originally and across its transit\, gives us insight into the feelings that animate acts of violence. In response to it\, Palestinian expression\, particularly in relation to atrocity and apocalyptical dread\, reveals what precedes in fundamental form and must conquer genocide. How must we bear love in the face of annihilation? What ideas of it must we confront? Whose love must we learn? \nSponsored by: The UCSC Center for Racial Justice | Department of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies | Department of Feminist Studies | Department of Sociology | The Center for South Asian Studies | The Center for Cultural Studies | FJP | SJP | Institute for Social Transformation. \nPart of the Possibilities of Palestinian Refusal: Against Disciplining Knowledge and Movement Speaking Series. For more information\, visit the CRJ website: https://crjucsc.com/.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Lara Sheehi - "The Imperative to Refuse Psychic Intrusion in Palestine-Lebanon Solidarities"
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Mjriam Abu Samra - "Intergenerational\, Anticolonial Vanguards: The Palestinian Transnational Student Movement in Historical Perspective"
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAbout the Speaker \nMjriam Abu Samra is a Marie Curie Post-Doc Fellow at the department of Anthropology at UC Davis with ties to the program in Middle East/South Asian Studies through the cooperation with her host institution University of Venice Ca Foscari in Italy. \nMjriam received her Ph.D. from the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford\, UK and her MA in Middle East Politics from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)\, UK. Her research focuses on Palestinian transnational student and youth politics and Third World solidarities. Her work intervenes in the critical study of refugees\, colonialisms\, social movements and it is grounded on critical theories on subalternity and decolonization. As a MSC Postdoctoral Fellow Mjriam will be exploring the political potential of contemporary Palestinian transnational youth activism in the United States and Europe through an historical comparative lens. \nBefore joining UC Davis\, Mjriam was based in Amman\, Jordan\, where she worked as gender expert for the Center of Strategic Studies at the University of Jordan and as Senior researcher and coordinator at the Al Nahda research center. She taught courses on international politics\, developments\, and history of colonialism at the University of Jordan and American education abroad programs in Amman. \n\nThis talk is presented by the Center for Racial Justice (CRJ) at UC Santa Cruz and co-sponsored by Feminist Studies\, Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Department\, Students for Justice in Palestine\, Faculty for Justice in Palestine\, Center for South Asian Studies (CSAS)\, Center for the Middle East and North Africa (CMENA)\, Anthropology Department\, Sociology Department\, Politics Department\, Center for Cultural Studies\, and People’s University. \nIt is the first talk in a year-long speaker series\, “Possibilities of Palestinian Refusal: Against Disciplining Knowledge and Movement.” For more information \, please visit the CRJ website: https://crjucsc.com/
