Dear colleagues,<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

For this Friday\u2019s LTC Salon, I\u2019m doing something a little different: offering space for an emergent conversation on what may feel like a pressing topic \u2013\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

Responding to the World in the Classroom: Palestine, Israel, and Beyond<\/b><\/p>\n

Friday, November 3, 12:30-2:30<\/p>\n

Learning and Teaching Commons (Sem II E3120)<\/p>\n

Come when you can, leave when you need! We will have tea and snacks \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Make this your lunch break: there will be food catered by Nineveh<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

Nancy Koppelman will be my co-facilitator for an informal discussion about how the war in Gaza \u2013\u00a0and more broadly, erupting national or global crises \u2013 may intersect with your teaching. We can be a resource for understanding the current conflict, considering the impact students might be feeling, and exploring strategies for responding when fraught and upsetting issues come up in class.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

I encourage you to stop by in person, but if Zoom works better for you I\u2019ll set that up with an OWL. Link:\u00a0https:\/\/evergreen.zoom.us\/j\/85758273129<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

The attached resource packet contains some guidance for the general teaching challenges under consideration.\u00a0In addition, Faculty Emeritus Bill Arney\u00a0 wrote “What Do You Teach After the War Begins?” in 1992 after the first Gulf War started.\u00a0 He was teaching in the MIT program at the time.\u00a0 The article documents how his students, imagining themselves as teachers in the future, grappled with how to teach during a war.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

It\u2019s not \u201chomework,\u201d but we also recommend\u00a0this recording<\/a>\u00a0as a good primer on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, its latest eruption of violence, and possibilities for peace. It\u2019s a panel discussion between Israeli, Palestinian, and Egyptian scholars at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies at Brandeis University, which took place on October 19, 2023. They are co-authors of a book called\u00a0Arabs and Israelis: Conflict and Peacemaking in the Middle East<\/a>\u00a0(2013). (The link above launches the video at about 12 minutes in, after explanations and introductions of the panelists, but you may start at the beginning if you’d like.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

Please join us if you can,
Julie<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

P.S. Staff are welcome to attend!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
