The Stories We Tell
PALESTINE: BETWEEN WORLDS AND SILENCES
April 25 – June 27
Seminar
RADICAL EDUCATION IN GAZA THE DAY AFTER
Mayssoun Sukarieh, King’s College London, MSH Guest Professor.
April 30 · 12-14H
Salle Geremek, Institut d’Études Européennes (IEE)
Avenue F. Roosevelt 39, 1000 Bruxelles
While acknowledging the importance of knowledge production about Gaza and
Palestine in the struggle for liberation, in this talk I emphasize the need
for caution. This is because the academic world has its own internal logic,
funders as well as researchers have their own agendas, universities also
have their own ideas about research in the Strip. We are already seeing the
seeds of an industry created where academic grants and funders design the
research that benefits groups in the academy but does not necessarily
benefit Palestinian communities and struggles. There are by now so many
calls for conferences and gatherings about what is going on in Gaza, I have
been already approached to be part of grant applications for research
projects in Gaza for “the day after.” This presentation will reflect on
different education projects that consider education in its relation to
political struggle and liberation, that focuses not only on education for
social mobility but political activism, that refuses the division of
knowledge production not connected to struggles, and that thinks of how we
can, in the case of Gaza, learn from a long, worldwide tradition of
education for liberation to rebuild the educational sector in radical ways.
Dr. Mayssoun Sukarieh is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of
International Development. She received her PhD from the University of
California, Berkeley. Since then, she has lectured in anthropology and
development studies in universities around the Arab region (American
University of Beirut; American University of Cairo) and the US (Columbia
and Brown Universities). Mayssoun’s research interests engage broadly with
social, economic and cultural transformations in relation to neoliberal
development in the Middle East. Mayssoun recently published her first book:
Youth rising: The politics of youth in the Global economy. In addition to
this scholarly monograph, she has published widely across an
interdisciplinary range of highly ranked academic journals, including
Anthropological Quarterly; Political and Legal Anthropology; Third World
Quarterly; Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East;
Race and Class; Journal of Youth Studies; and British Journal of Sociology
of Education.

(EN) The stories we tell matter. It matters how we craft them and what
they say and don’t say about others and ourselves. In this hour of
genocide, as we bear witness to unspeakable horror and the stifling
censorship of educational, cultural and political institutions, we
foreground Palestinian worlds to nourish learning and cultivate hope.
Bringing together a set of exceptional scholars, artists and activists,
this program invites us to confront what we cannot longer unsee and to
listen to what has been muzzled. Through conversations, poetry, music, and
films we aim to unsettle all-too-predictable story lines by repositioning
words and silences as historical agents of complex and ongoing
transformations.
(FR) Les histoires que nous racontons sont importantes. La manière dont
nous les élaborons et ce qu’elles disent ou ne disent pas sur les autres et
sur nous-mêmes sont importants. En cette heure de génocide, alors que nous
sommes témoins d’une horreur indicible et de la censure étouffante des
institutions éducatives, culturelles et politiques, nous mettons en avant
les mondes palestiniens pour nourrir l’apprentissage et cultiver l’espoir.
Réunissant un ensemble d’universitaires, d’artistes et d’activistes
exceptionnels, ce programme nous invite à affronter ce que nous ne pouvons
plus voir et à écouter ce qui a été muselé. À travers des conversations, de
la poésie, de la musique et des films, nous visons à déstabiliser les
lignes d’histoire trop prévisibles en repositionnant les mots et les
silences en tant qu’agents historiques de transformations complexes et
continues.
