Teaching Palestine Now

In this episode of the podcast, I speak with three colleagues who share their experiences with teaching about Palestine in this moment in time. Andy is a middle school social studies teacher, Terry is a high school social studies teacher and Hanan is a student advisor at a college. Although we address the events of October 7th and subsequent developments, we engage in a much broader and long-term analysis of the struggle for Palestinian freedom and the ways in which education in the United States works against that goal. As a group, we also make a point to move from critique to concrete suggestions for ways to change the way Palestine is discussed and taught, both in classrooms and in informal settings.
