Panelists include Drs. Reecia Orzeck (geography), Camille Cole (history), and Ali Riaz (politics and government). The event will address the current humanitarian crisis in Palestine as well as broader issues for democracy in the Middle East.
The panelists have a wide range of expertise on the current and historical crisis. Orzeck’s research specializes in the geography of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the political economy of international law. Cole is a historian of capitalism, law, and empire in the modern Middle East, while Riaz’s work focuses on the health of global democracy and political violence.
