So Clare Politics is back under new administration and with a great line up of speakers this term and next - beginning with a t
alk from Professor Salim Tamari.
Professor Tamari is an undisputed Palistinian expert: not only is he the director of the Institute of Jerusalem Studies, he also teaches of sociology at Birzeit University, acts as visiting professor at Berkeley and Clare and edits Hawliyyat al Quds and Jerusalem Quarterly. He has worked with the Palistinian authority and has written countless publications, including in 2007 a collection of essays on the ‘Contested Modernity of Palestine’.
Needless to say, this is an excellent opportunity to hear what promises to be a hugely interesting and informative talks from a man of unparalleled experience.
As is usual, Professor Tamari will speak for around half an hour before opening up to a prolonged question and answer session. Entrance and refreshments are free. Turn up early to grab a good seat and a glass of wine!
