“World Academic Forum for Palestine: Genocide in Gaza”: Drs. Takriti, Joudah, Ageel, and Loubani
The “World Academic Forum for Palestine: Genocide in Gaza”, a transnational forum on the ongoing genocide in Gaza and urgently needed academic responses from across the globe, was held at the University of Houston on April 6-7, 2024. It was organized by Scholars Against the War on Palestine, a transnational coalition that brings together faculty, researchers, and graduate students to end the century-long colonial war on Palestine. The forum featured panels on law, medicine, history, theology, gender, education, and international politics, with nearly 50 expert speakers participating in person and online. The panels included “Gaza Family Testimonies, Scholasticide and Palestinian Academic Experiences in Gaza, Medical Testimonies from Gaza, The Gaza Genocide in Context, The World is with Palestine: Reflections from Sister Struggles, Theology of Empire, Law and the Genocide, Regional Context: Imperialism and Resistance in the Arab World, Reflections on Transnational Organizing, and Palestine is a Feminist and Queer Anti-colonial struggle.
During this and future episodes of Arab Voices, we plan to air most of the remarks delivered at that important and historic forum.
In this episode of Arab Voices (# 1,108), we will air the opening remarks by Dr. Abdel Razzaq Takriti, associate professor of History and Arab American Educational Foundation Chair in Arab Studies at Rice University, and one of the main organizers for the forum, a poem read by Dr. Fady Joudah, an award-winning Palestinian American physician and poet based in Houston, Texas, the testimony of Dr. Ghada Ageel, a visiting professor at the University of Alberta in Canada, who lost over 280 members of her extended family in Gaza, and the testimony of Dr. Tarek Loubani, a physician and associate professor at the University of Western Ontario in Canada, who made several trips to Gaza to provide medical care, where he has been arrested and shot by the Israeli occupation army.
Arab Voices aims at bringing the truth, facts, and realities to a wide and diverse range of listeners. It debunks many of the stereotypes, myths, and false information disseminated by certain media outlets, some politicians, and others.
Arab Voices is a syndicated program that airs on other radio stations in different cities in the U.S.A. and Europe.
