Nov. 10th, 17th, 24th  Tell Our Stories: Teaching the Literature of Israel and Palestine

Israeli literary scholar Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt says, “If you want to understand a people, read the stories it tells.” Dr. Beth Boyens of Augustana University’s English department found this especially true while teaching a course on Israeli and Palestinian literature in the fall of 2023. During that semester, while conflict swirled in Gaza, professor and students sought to immerse themselves in the stories of two exiled peoples living as neighbors, to consider the value in reading and listening to stories that are perhaps unrelatable, to examine their own perceptions of the other, and to imagine commonalities in the human experience across physical and ideological boundaries. Come hear about that experience and learn a bit about the stories told in this small plot of land that holds a large history.
