The Israel-Palestine conflict is highly visible and contentious in student politics. Academic teaching and research on Israel/Palestine is less visible but is a vital component of university life. This talk will illuminate the potential of what scholars do in the classroom and library to not merely replicate the Israel-Palestine conflict on campus but rather to build bridges between students with diverse disciplinary and political orientations.
