Courses with Open Seats
Mini-4 (99-645): The US Role in the Conflict between Israel, Palestine, and Gaza
Instructors: Lauren Banko, Dareen Basma, Daniel Silverman
This course provides a modular exploration of the United States' involvement in the Israel-Palestine conflict, highlighting different facets of its historical and current role. Through standalone lectures, students will analyze specific themes such as U.S. diplomacy in the peace process, economic, humanitarian and military aid, and the psychological impacts of war and displacement on Arab and Jewish communities in both the Middle East and the U.S. Each module offers a deep dive into the topic, while collectively, they reveal the interconnectedness of U.S. policy, global perceptions and community experiences. The course features expert panels and guest lecturers who bring both academic and lived perspectives, alongside short readings, discussion prompts and opportunities for critical analysis. The aim of the course is to provide students with a comprehensive, multi-faceted understanding of these complex issues.
