Gender, Genocide, and Palestine

This roundtable brings together senior and emerging scholars whose work has critically engaged gender, genocide, and Palestine. Panelists will examine how gender operates as a central mechanism within genocidal processes and attention will be given to how gendered narratives justify violence and shape its reception. Each panelist will offer timely and rigorous remarks on how frameworks of genocide illuminate both historical and ongoing conditions in Palestine. Each panelist will draw on their expertise to consider how to meet the ongoing epistemic and material devastation that shapes this current political moment. Finally, drawing on feminist ethics, each panelists will offer practical advice and information on the important role organizations like the Lemkin Institute and the Palestinian Feminist Collective offer for the dissimination of critical and credible knowledge on the ongoing genocide.
