As a university community, we seek to engage with the controversial and difficult topics of our time. One such topic is Israel-Palestine. Over the coming academic year, the University will host a series of campus events on Israel-Palestine, addressing issues including the multiple narratives at play in the region; the application of international law; the role of universities in Israeli and Palestinian civil society; the distinctive vision of a Catholic university in relation to the conflict; peacebuilding in the midst of extreme polarization; and possible ways forward.
Alongside the event series, students are invited to participate in a one-credit course to delve deeper into the multiple narratives and enable productive disagreement or the possibility of progress toward agreement.
