演講 The State of Research on Palestine (10th November, 2011)

During this seminar, Dr. Ilan Pappe will map out what research is currently being conducted on Palestine. The talk and subsequent discussion session will be particularly useful for junior researchers already engaged in research on Palestine at the PhD level, new academics and Master's students considering applying for PhD programs in this topic area.

The topic of Palestine is loosely represented by an array of scholars working largely independent of one other across the world. This talk will help weave together for the audience an understanding of what is already being done and where deficits currently exist in the research being done on Palestine.

Dr. Ilan Pappe is a Professor of History, the Director of the European Centre for Palestine Studies and a Co-Director for the Exeter Centre for Ethno-Political Studies at the University of Exeter. He is one of Israel's "New Historians" who, since the release of pertinent British and Israeli government documents in the early 1980s, have been rewriting the history of Israel's creation in 1948. Dr. Ilan Pappe is the author of seminal historical pieces on Israel and Palestine such as "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine (2006)," "The Modern Middle East (2005)," "A History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples (2003)," and the upcoming "The Bureaucracy of Evil: the History of the Israeli Occupation (2012)." 

This event has been organized by the Palestine Studies Group, a University of Exeter based, cross-disciplinary Postgraduate student association devoted to research on Palestine.
