The Academics for Palestine Podcast is a series of roundtable interviews with academics about Palestine, genocides, coloniality and activism.
Episode4: Solidarity and Complicity in the Academy
On this week’s episode we have Dr Eman Abboud from Trinity College Dublin and Dr Rita Sakr from Maynooth University. They talk about being Palestinian and Lebanese, coloniality and decolonial studies, activism and Eman’s recent trip home to Palestine. Then Eman reads for us an excerpt from a famous Palestinian poem from 2002, ‘A State of Siege’ by Mahmoud Darwish. Hosted by Emer and Stephen, edited by Dawn.
