Jerusalem Fifty Years On: United or Occupied?

With Daniel Seidemann

Fifty years since 1967, and the dissonance between official Israel and much of the rest of the world is stark.

Free and open to the public. A light lunch will be served. This event is part of the speaker series, “50 Years of Occupation, 1967-2017: Israel/Palestine, Histories and Futures,” co-sponsored by the Duke Center for Jewish Studies, the Forum for Scholars and Publics, Humanities Futures @ the Franklin Humanities Institute, and the Duke University Middle East Studies Center.
