Summer Intensive Programs in Israel & Morocco

SUMMER INTENSIVE PROGRAM

PALESTINIANS IN ISRAEL:

IDENTITY, PREDICAMENTS AND POSSIBILITIES

Dates: June 28-July 12, 2013
Program Director: Dr. Adina Friedman
Estimated Cost: $4000 (May be less, depending on final number of participants)

The Israeli-Palestinian (and broader Arab-Israeli) conflict is multi-dimensional, with many of its aspects and axes relatively hidden from the eye. One of the central and historically overlooked issues is the predicament and role of Palestinian citizens of Israel. While in recent years Palestinians in Israel have become more vocal and have more assertively demanded that their grievances be addressed, bringing them greater attention, this community and its issues have in fact always been core to the conflict.
This two week intensive study program focuses on the Palestinian community in Israel, and on the variety of voices emanating from it. It will examine their predicament and relationship with the state and with the Jewish community. In addition, the program will examine other dimensions of Israeli (Jewish and Palestinian) identities, and draw interesting connections between otherwise seemingly disconnected issues (religious-secular divide, “east” and “west” tensions, socio-economics and social protest, Jewish-Arab relations), to give participants a comprehensive, holistic, and highly nuances understanding of Israeli realities. The program may include one or two excursions to the West Bank and visits to East Jerusalem, though its main focus will be on issues inside Israel.
The program will include immersion in various communities, home hospitalities, meetings with people from all walks of life (academics, politicians, community activists and leaders, students, professionals, lay people, etc), and excursions to religious, historical, and cultural sites.
This program is open to all, but is particularly suited for people conducting research or internships about/in the region, who would like to deepen their connections to the regions and understandings of the core issues “on the table” in Israeli (Jewish and Palestinian) society. There is also the possibility (for additional cost) of being placed in programs/internships in the region, and of joining a unique comparative-conflict study tour to Morocco in August, for Israelis, Palestinians, and internationals.
