A conversation to bring together contemporary Palestinian and Northern Irish writers will be held at the Middle East Centre. The symposium aims to explore ways that literature allows for an engagement with the legacies of the writers' societies’ traumatic past whilst they navigate the present world in their socio-political contexts. Moderated by Bayan Haddad, the workshop aims to gauge the social motives behind the authors’ creativity and experimentation in their writing. The event is open to the public and the audience’s participation in the conversation is part of it.

ODID invites you to a panel discussion on Dr Sahana Ghosh’s A Thousand Tiny Cuts: Mobility and Security across the Bangladesh-India Borderlands (2023).
