Announcement - Listening, Learning and Talking About Current Traumas

The Centre for Religion and Public Life is hosting presentations, followed by opportunities for discussion, to begin to address and contextualise traumatic events centred on Israel and Palestine.

The first of these is during our regular fortnightly seminar slot - on Thursday 16 November, 11.30-13.00 in the Botany House seminar room (1.03). Dr Tajul Islam, Lecturer of Islamic Studies (School of Languages, Cultures and Societies, University of Leeds) will present a paper with the title "The Judeo-Islamicate: Shared Destinies, Apprehensions and Aspirations." This will be followed by questions and discussion.

On Monday 11 December at 13.00 (venue to be confirmed) we will host our second presentation with questions and discussion. Our speaker will be sociologist Dr. Keith Kahn-Harris, associate fellow of the Institute for Jewish Policy Research and lecturer at Leo Baeck College.

Details of these events will be announced and updated on this blog. Please see "Events" > "CRPL Seminar Series."
