RGGJ: Palestine and Global Justice: Revisiting the Terms of Political Theory
The Lin Centre’s Research Group on Global Justice (RGGJ) and Critical Social Theory at McGill invite you to a conference on:
Palestine and Global Justice: Revisiting the Terms of Political Theory
April 24-25, McGill University
Palestine and Global Justice: Revisiting the Terms of Political Theory examines how Israel’s genocide in Gaza has exposed both the political stakes of Palestine—self-determination, occupation, solidarity, and international law—and the limits of core political and legal categories such as global justice, human rights, war, colonialism, and resistance. The conference asks whether existing conceptual and normative frameworks remain adequate after Gaza and seeks to rethink the key terms of political theory in light of the ongoing crisis.
Invited speakers include:
- Nasser Abourahme (Bowdoin College)
- Esmat Elhalaby (University of Toronto)
- Samera Esmeir (University of California, Berkeley)
- Murad Idris (University of Michigan)
- Nadim Khoury (University of Inland Norway)
- Darryl Li (University of Chicago)
- Nicola Perugini (University of Edinburgh)
- Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian (Queen Mary University of London)
- Maya Wind (University of California, Riverside)
