Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Randa Abdel-Fattah in conversation with Sara Yasin about "Discipline"
Q: What inspired this particular novel for you?
Randa discusses how her field research in Sydney schools led her to capture the experiences of young Muslims growing up in a world defined by the war on terror, ultimately inspiring the themes in her novel, "Discipline."
Laleh Khalili talks to Adam Hanieh, Robert Knox and Rafeef Ziadeh about "Resisting Erasure: Capital, Imperialism and Race in Palestine"
Q: What is to be done, given the way that settler colonialism thrives on its regional connections?
We need to keep building movements, deepen solidarity, and ensure the consciousness around Palestine does not disappear, while also being cautious about the narratives of statehood that have historically tied Palestinians to compromises.
