*Mada Summer School for Critical Palestine/ Israel Studies August 2017*
*A Summer School of Critical Palestine/Israel Studies*
Palestine/Israel is a contested place, suffering from occupation and
colonization, while also building solidarity and resistance. It is also the
home of a vibrant community of leading critical scholars—Palestinians and
Israelis—who engage with the past, present, and future of their lived
political realities. However, the current academic climate is dominated by
a commodified perception of knowledge, which shuns genuine scholarship out
of fear of political implications. In the specific context of Israeli
research universities, critical thinking on Palestine/Israel is becoming
more and more silenced. This is why we believe that in the current
situation, critical scholarship is a political act.
