Benny Morris, professor of Middle East Studies at Ben Gurion University, and Skidmore College’s 2009 Greenberg Middle East Scholar-in-Residence, will participate in two public events while on campus this fall.
On Tuesday, Sept. 29, Morris will give a lecture titled “1948: Back to the Beginnings.” The talk, scheduled at 8 p.m. in Davis Auditorium of Palamountain Hall, will focus on those matters unresolved at the time of Israel’s establishment as a state that continue to undermine resolutions to the now more than 60-year long conflict.
On Thursday, Oct. 8, Morris and Robert Malley will participate in a panel discussion titled: “After Camp David: The Future of the Two-State Solution.” Steven Hoffmann, professor of government at Skidmore, will moderate the panel, which begins at 8 p.m. in |Gannett Auditorium of Palamountain Hall.
Both events are free and open to the public.
The Greenberg Middle East Scholar-in-Residence Series is made possible by a gift from Skidmore alumna Jane Greenberg. The series enables the college to host an Israeli scholar who, through teaching, lecturing, and participating in campus life, educates the community on a range of topics concerning politics in the Middle East.
The Office of the Dean of Special Programs coordinates the Greenberg series.
