Palestine: Space and Politics is a project that was initiated by the Arab Urbanism team. It is an introductory curriculum about the human geography of Palestine, in response to the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza, and to the 100 year war on Palestinian self-determination.
I developed two of the themes, one on mapping and counter-mapping, the other on the futures of Palestine in the region, as it relates to the polycrisis of climate change, apartheid and genocide, and capitalist erosion of the conditions of flourishing life.
