The escalation of violence against the Palestinian people has encouraged debate among students and faculty from various courses and projects at UFABC, particularly in the Bachelor's in International Relations (BRI), the Observatory of Brazil's Foreign Policy and International Insertion (OPEB), the Center for Arab and Islamic Studies (CEAI), and the Graduate Programs in World Political Economy (EPM) and International Relations (PRI).
In the search for effective ways to show solidarity with the Palestinian cause, the idea emerged to establish academic and scientific cooperation ties between UFABC and a Palestinian university. The aim is to unite efforts in combating the violence that, in the occupied Palestinian territories, also affects the education and research sectors, through dialogue and collaboration in various fields of knowledge.
The initiative moved forward, and on September 13, 2024, the UFABC Service Bulletin published the Cooperation Agreement, whose primary goal is to establish academic, scientific, and cultural cooperation with Birzeit University. Through future mobility and collaboration efforts, both institutions will strive to build a strategic partnership on a permanent basis.
In this context, the present course was created, with the aim of promoting this academic-scientific exchange in the study of the history, sociology, culture, and resistance of Palestine, and it will be taught by faculty from UFABC’s new partner university, Birzeit. Enjoy!
This course is organized by the Center for Arab and Islamic Studies, the Federal University of ABC, and Birzeit University. Additionally, it is supported by the Bachelor's in International Relations (BRI), the Graduate Program in International Relations (PRI), the International Relations Advisory Office (ARI), the Observatory of Brazil's Foreign Policy and International Insertion (OPEB), the International Relations Academic Center (CARI), the Graduate Program in World Political Economy (EPM), the Academic Center of Economic Sciences (CACE), and the Office of Extension and Culture (ProEC).
Participation is open to all faculty members, professors, students, staff, researchers, and the general public interested in the topic. Sign up below!
